College AcceptanceOur Unique and Successful Approach to College Admissions:
Youth Initiative High School does not use a system of grade point averages or class ranks. All classes are evaluated on a pass or fail basis and include an extensive, in-depth narrative evaluation of the class and the student’s performance. Throughout the high school career of every student these narrative evaluations are compiled and become, upon graduation, the student’s transcript.Instead of a piece of paper with a GPA and class rank, colleges receive a three-ring binder full of every narrative evaluation the student has ever received, reading like a memoir of the student’s growth and achievements. In a college admissions climate where students want to separate themselves from the crowd, YIHS students are immediately recognized as individuals. This way of doing things not only respects the individuality of every student but it has proven to be successful. Youth Initiative students are accepted to a broad range of colleges.
