Youth Under Construction - A New Way to Learn for a Changing World
The times have changed. So why hasn’t our education system?
Technology, culture, and careers look completely different than they did 100 years ago. Or even 50. Or 30. Yet schools remain pretty much the same.
At Youth Under Construction, we believe it’s time to bring education into the 21st century. Whereas conventional schools around Florida cater to a very specific type of intelligence, Youth Under Construction celebrates and welcomes students of all types of learning styles and strengths. We prepare you for modern-world jobs through a pioneering curriculum delivered in a varied learning environment.
Like many students, you may have found that the traditional school model wasn’t for you. The good news is, you don’t have to drop out – and you don’t have to settle for a GED.
At Youth Under Construction, you can earn a state-recognized accredited high school diploma/education and take a big step towards a bright future by enrolling today.
The Youth Under Construction Difference
Learning Today For A Better Tomorrow.
What makes Youth Under Construction so different from your average school? So many things.
Conventional school models require everyone’s school year to begin at the same time. They require students to arrive at a certain time and not leave until a certain time. Traditional schools demand you enroll in the same core classes.
Youth Under Construction believes those kinds of rules are limiting. We know that every student has a unique learning style, schedule, and interests. That’s why our students design their own curriculum based on their goals and interests, and they design their own schedule based on their availability.
At our school, you learn at your own pace. Your day begins and ends when you want it to. You get to study in an engaging, experiential learning environment with personalized attention. Best of all, when you finish, you’ll leave with an actual high school diploma – not a GED.
Why a High School Diploma Is More Important Than Ever Before
The numbers are in, and a high school diploma is crucial to your career and financial success.
Why do we say this?
Because today, more than 60 percent of jobs in the skilled labor workforce require a high school diploma. Many employers will not even look at the application of a candidate without a diploma.
High school dropouts earn dramatically less money than students who get a diploma. On average, high school dropouts earn less than $19,000 annually. Compare that to high school graduates, who earn an average annual salary of more than $26,000. College grads make an average of $45,000 or more annually.
Gone are the days when a high school diploma was optional. In today’s highly competitive economy, you need a high school diploma if you hope to get the job you want.
Don’t let the lack of a high school diploma hold you back. Enroll at Youth Under Construction and leave with a high school diploma and promising future.
Don’t let a setback decide your fate, graduate with us!
What to Expect from Youth Under Construction
When you enroll at Youth Under Construction, working with your grade-level guidance counselor, you’ll design your own individual academic and career plan. Your plan is your custom curriculum tailored to your career goals, interests, and strengths.
After kicking off your school year, you’ll engage in a blend of classes, career guidance, and social skills training. On any given day, your classes could include small group workshops instruction, independent study, and online courses. Even better, whenever you need it, our dedicated, talented teachers are standing by to provide one-to-one tutoring.
Youth Under Construction has been established to serve the needs of a variety of learners. We provide an intimate setting with a student to staff ratio of 15:1 where our staff and student performance continue to gain momentum in our pursuit of education excellence. The environment we have created is conducive to students who are having difficulty finding success in a traditional school setting. Our top priority is to motivate students to re-engage with and be in control of their own academic outcomes.
We provide a unique and flexible learning experience for our students in which highly qualified staff members are present and available to provide the instructional, social, and emotional support for our students. This is combined with a standards-based online curriculum, which allows for self-pacing, individualized progress monitoring, and assessment tools to measure student success. Upon student re-engagement, our focus becomes sequential steps toward both graduation and successful post-secondary opportunities through college and career readiness.
