OPTIONS FOR YOUTH CHARTER SCHOOLS (OFYCS) is an academic recovery program specifically tailored for "at-risk" students using an independent study format. Students who have previously experienced difficulty in traditional schools find success with the program. OFYCS combines individualized learning plans with self-esteem and leadership development. Students are enrolled in courses leading toward a high school diploma, G.E.D. or re-entry at grade level in a comprehensive or alternative school program. Enrollment in the program is voluntary. OFYCS provides students with the opportunity to learn at home outside the comprehensive school environment, complete courses in core and elective subjects and receive guidance counseling.

OFYCS is a public school dedicated to providing quality educational services to students and families. The unique features of the program include:

• Open Entry - A student can enroll virtually any weekday of the year. No need to wait for a class or semester to start.
  
  
• Continuous Learning - OFYCS operates year round. No long vacations to interrupt the learning process.
  
  
• Flexible Self-Paced Rate of Learning - Students set their own time and pace for learning. They do not have to sacrifice family or work commitments to meet educational schedules.
  
  
• Subject Matter Concentration - Enrollment in a limited number of courses at a time allows for greater in-depth learning and results in less confusion. Students see results quickly.
