We all know or have heard that Young Scholars provides a top-notch education. But from my family’s experience, it’s not only challenging but truly engaging for my children. At the end of my twin boys’ kindergarten year, I asked them if they wanted to go to an “easier” school. One where they wouldn’t have a foreign language. To my surprise, they both said they LOVED Spanish and wanted to return to Young Scholars because they wanted to learn Spanish

WE ARE  YOUNG SCHOLARS

YSGA acknowledges that building robust relationships is essential for student success. Our dedicated staff invest their efforts in fostering meaningful connections with both students and their families.

Academic Growth

Scholars at YSGA are exceeding academic expectations at an unprecedented rate. YSGA scholars have demonstrated the highest level of academic growth compared to surrounding districts in ELA, Math, and Science. This achievement is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our teachers.

No Cost to Parents

YSGA is funded by tax dollars and offers all of these excellent opportunities at no additional cost to parents. It is a free public school choice. While your scholar is enrolled, they will also receive free breakfast, lunch, school supplies, and access to extracurricular activities.

A Foundation for College & Success

YSGA equips students with the skills and knowledge necessary for lifelong success. Through college prep programs, real-world learning experiences, and a focus on developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills, we empower our students to confidently pursue their post-secondary goals.

Two World Languages

YSGA recognizes the importance of preparing scholars for a globally connected world. YSGA introduces Spanish and Turkish beginning in Kindergarten, giving scholars a distinct advantage in a world increasingly interconnected by diverse cultures and languages.

High Standards

YSGA has higher academic standards and stricter discipline policies than some traditional public schools. YSGA embodies a culture that promotes success and focuses on effort. Students wear uniforms to help them focus on learning and create a more equitable and professional learning environment.
