Enrollment Process for our Charter High School
Enrolling at American YouthWorks is a four step process:
Step 1: Youth must attend an information meeting. Information meetings are usually held every Monday at 4:00PM. We ask that interested youth arrive 15 minutes prior to the meeting to ensure we start on time.
Step 2: A complete list of required documents must be turned in to the school.
- Birth certificate
- Social Security card
- Proof of address (i.e. utility bill, phone bill, paycheck)
- Proof of immunizations
- Transcripts/AAR
- TAKS scores (if applicable)
- Withdrawal form from previous school
- Discipline record
Step 3: Students will meet individually with a staff member for a pre-enrollment meeting to discuss his or her diploma plan, school rules, and expectations.
Step 4: Students will arrive at school for an orientation period, known as a Gear Up!, that will last for 3- 4 days. Upon successful completion of orientation, youth are enrolled as a student at American YouthWorks.
