Boston Youth Service Providers Collaborative Network & Alternative Education Alliance, working cooperatively to provide integrated, year-round services to Boston youth.

Mission
The ABCD University High School operates in cooperation with the Boston Public Schools (BPS) to enable nearly 100 young people each year to complete a curriculum approved by the Boston Public Schools at ABCD and still graduate from their original BPS high school.

Many students are over-age, struggling academically, or otherwise at risk in the traditional school system. Despite the high-risk profile of these students, over 90 percent of them successfully earn their high school diplomas.

The University High School strives to honor students’ individuality and unique learning styles in a safe, supportive educational environment.

The school helps students fully develop their strengths and skills through many classroom-based activities, discussions, and projects. At the same time, the school fosters development of a positive atmosphere and congenial sense of community in which all students and staff enjoy mutual respect.
