At Project STAY, we are dedicated to supporting young people who want to graduate. Our staff members get to know students to develop strong relationships and honor their life experiences through meaningful, culturally relevant content. We focus on meeting every student’s needs and goals, and we utilize trauma-informed practices to improve attendance and academic achievement. We know that young adults can face unique challenges, which is why we provide personalized learning opportunities and supports so that every student can succeed.

Our mission is to help students graduate and successfully transition to college, technical school, military service, or employment. We offer nine-week terms with a half-day scheduling option, and all courses have a ratio of one teacher and one assistant per 20 students. Our small class sizes allow students to get the individualized support they need to progress toward graduation.

At Project STAY, there are four terms (nine weeks each) per year to allow students to take more classes and recover credits more quickly. Students can choose a half-day (morning or afternoon) or full-day schedule depending on their goals. The shorter day is often a good fit for those who struggle with traditional full-day academic schedules, and it offers more flexibility for students who are working part-time jobs, parenting, or completing mandatory community service hours.
