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.
