Description
Next Step Public Charter School is not a traditional school. Founded to provide at-risk youth with the tools and services they need to finish high school, complete the GED exam, and move onward to college or a vocational program, NSPCS pairs a comprehensive academic program with life skills education, workshops in parenting, and programs in career readiness and financial literacy. For students with limited English skills, or learning English as a Second Language, we do not take the traditional high school approach of english immersion, instead we help students boost their academics in Spanish and then transfer their knowledge into English which proves far more successful.æFor students who face extraordinary challenges, Next Step is truly the first step towards a new life.
