Teaching Approach

Updated 8mo ago

Maya Angelou Academy at the Youth Services Center emphasizes a safe, nurturing, mutually respectful learning environment that motivates and prepares detained youth to reach their academic or career potential. Its stated mission is to empower students through a restorative educational approach, grounded in the core values "Maya CARES" (Community, Accountability, Recognition, Empathy, and Support).

Admissions

Updated 8mo ago

Maya Angelou Academy @ Youth Services Center (MAA@YSC) is described by See Forever as an alternative school located inside DC’s Youth Services Center detention facility and is designed to serve students who are currently detained by the juvenile justice system (regardless of academic history/standing). (seeforever.org) DYRS describes YSC as a secure detention center for youth placed there by court order, and notes that the Maya Angelou Academy provides onsite educational programming at YSC. (dyrs.dc.gov) Based on the information published on these pages, there is no public application/lottery process (and no key admissions dates) described for MAA@YSC; admission/enrollment appears tied to being placed at YSC. (seeforever.org) The same sources do not describe a waitlist process, priority categories, or specific enrollment document requirements for this secured setting program. (seeforever.org) For enrollment questions, See Forever lists a direct MAA@YSC contact (Principal Adrian Dhanaraj) via its central office contacts page. (seeforever.org)
