Transfer Schools are small, academically rigorous, full-time high schools designed to re-engage students who are over-age and under-credited or have dropped out of high school. The essential elements of transfer schools include: a personalized learning environment, rigorous academic standards, student-centered pedagogy, support to meet instructional and developmental goals, and a focus on connections to college. Eligibility Transfer Schools accept students who have been enrolled in high school for at least one year and choose to make a change. Each transfer school determines admissions criteria individually. Students, parents and guidance counselors can contact transfer schools directly to set up an intake interview or to learn more about the school.
