54th Street Academy
You are family at 54th Street!
Welcome to 54th Street Academy! Through both online and direct instruction, 54th Street Academy is an alternative high school campus that allows for students that are behind in credits to build their credits toward transitioning back to a traditional high school. Students also have the option of finishing their high school education at the Academy through our 18-credit program that grants the students a High School diploma.
Students under the age of 20 will need to complete the required paperwork for enrollment. The student and parent will also need to schedule a meeting with our program director to have a conversation discussing the student's current transcript and their plans for education.
Whether students are in need of credit recovery, a non-traditional learning environment, or a faster track to high school graduation, 54th Street Academy has something for every student.
