Whether you’re behind on credits, disconnected from school, want to graduate early, need to tend to responsibilities outside of school, or simply desire a non-traditional learning environment, OFY's dedicated staff want to help you reach your academic goals.


Our schools create an educational choice for all students. Our staff connects with students to empower and inspire them to achieve their goals and make their dreams a reality.


Students work independently at a pace tailored to their ability and learning level, as teachers provide personalized attention and guidance. The low student-teacher ratio allows each student to receive more support from their teachers to discuss schoolwork.

At OFY, we are dedicated not only to helping students succeed while they attend our schools, but also long after. OFY gives students the opportunity to explore various career paths through our Career Technical Education courses, and our counselors help students decide what post-graduation path is right for them. Whether students want to attend a 4-year college or a trade school, join the military or enter the workforce, OFY is there every step of the way to help students get to where they want to be.


Before I joined Options For Youth, I was a C-D average student. While attending OFY, I became a straight A student. Now that I am graduating Options For Youth, I am set to attend college on a full-ride scholarship.
