Whitney M. Young School

Whitney M. Young students prosper in a positive, child-centered environment. Faculty and staff collaborate with families to help students achieve academic success and build strong cognitive, social, and creative skills. Our school offers a personalized learning model that focuses on the individual scholar, rigorous online and virtual learning programs, problem-based learning, lunchtime mentoring, and a focus on restorative practices and emotional learning to reduce out-of-school suspensions. The Verizon Innovative Learning Schools program provides each scholar from grades 5-8 with an iPad for educational use, and our school has a newly remodeled technology lab. Whitney M. Young has services for students with mild to moderate learning and behavior issues, including classrooms for students with multiple disabilities, autism, or emotional problems, and a special education preschool unit.
