What are Options Schools?
Options Schools serve students who need a new pathway toward high school graduation.
Our schools offer additional supports and services for students who have been out of school and seek to return, or who may need opportunities to earn credits in an accelerated program. Some of our campuses offer additional supports such as counseling and alternative schedules for students who may work during the traditional school day.
Students interested in enrolling in an Options School should contact us at 773.553.1530 or visit a SOAR Center.
