AHSINetwork

The Alternative High School Initiative (AHSI) is a network of youth development organizations with over 250 sites nationwide committed to creating educational opportunities for young people for whom traditional school settings have not been successful. AHSI was launched in 2003 as a response to the growing national trend of diminishing graduation rates, affecting this countrys low income, African American and Latino youth. Since its formation, AHSI has grown to include twelve organizations with high quality, innovative alternative school models that promote rigor, relevance, and relationships as integral parts of the learning experience for young people, as well as AHSI partnerships in Indianapolis, Nashville, and Newark.
