ABOUT OUR SCHOOL
The Crispus Attucks Charter School is a YouthBuild-affiliated high school diploma program incorporating hands-on job training and service learning for grade 12 students ages 17 to 21. The school’s core purpose is to help young adults achieve their full potential, building them for what’s possible.
As a member of the YouthBuild USA Affiliated Network and the AmeriCorps National Service Movement, we provide our students with opportunities to improve the community and the quality of life for fellow York residents by building affordable housing for low income families.
Our school emphasizes long-term skills development in the following ways:
SAFE ENVIRONMENT

INDIVIDUALIZED LEARNING
We provide pupil-centered education to empower students to become effective, successful learners.
ADVANCING POTENTIAL

INSTILLING VALUES

HELPING FORMER STUDENTS
We help former high school dropouts earn a high school diploma by meeting YouthBuild competencies and PDE standards.
POST HIGH SCHOOL ENCOURAGEMENT
We encourage students to pursue post-secondary education in college, technical, business, or trade schools.
