Interagency Academy at the University District Youth Center offers high school completion.

Our students include many homeless youth or youth-in-transition, as well as some who simply desire small classes and personalized learning plans.
We respect and value diversity -- of race, color, culture, gender, sexual orientation, religion, politics, living situation, and ability.

Scheduling is flexible, based on individual need. In general, credit classes are offered from 9:00 am to 2:00pm.

Students are encouraged to be involved in the community to earn credit and complete service learning. These opportunities are developed based on student interest.

Our partners, UDYC and YWCA Working Zone, offer case management and employment counseling to youth-in-transition or homeless youth. Laundry facilities, food, housing referrals, and a shower are all available to UDYC clients.

 

Interagency-UDYC has a computer lab and Internet connectivity. This allows us to offer some of our courses on-line, so students can work at home, the library, or at school -- anywhere they can connect to the Internet.

Teachers help each student develop an independent course of study, including projects and presentations, service learning opportunities, text-based courses, and independent study
