Every student who walks through our Night School doors embodies resilience and the power of hope. Our program welcomes students aged 15-22 from diverse backgrounds who have experienced interruptions in their education, often due to significant challenges such as foster care, homelessness, poverty, gang involvement, teen pregnancy, full-time jobs, family responsibilities, and/or mental health and learning difficulties.
