GED Programs at Monroe Campus and Stevenson Campus

YABC Programs at Columbus High School, Grace Dodge High School, Monroe Campus, Stevenson Campus, and Walton High School

Full-time academic programs for youth, ages 17 ½ - 21, to help them complete their education.  The program design acknowledges that non-academic factors like family obligations, day care, and work schedules can hinder students from graduating.  Students take intensive afternoon and evening classes and focus only on the courses they need to graduate.  Operated in collaboration with the DOE, Good Shepherd provides case management; counseling and crisis intervention services; resource referrals; attendance outreach; workshops; academic tutoring and test preparation; college preparation, employment readiness, and career exploration activities; job development and placement; and youth development opportunities.

The Learning to Work program is available at the Monroe Campus and Stevenson Campus sites.

A Second Opportunity School (SOS) for middle and high school students undergoing long term suspension from their home schools. Support and counseling services are provided in a school community that helps students to address the challenges and behavioral issues that led to the suspension and return to their home school or to another appropriate educational setting.
