Youth Education Services: Schools Division

The ROE #3 - Youth Education Services: Schools Division team is dedicated to serving the at-risk population of the region.

Since 1993, the Youth Education Services Schools Division strives to offer a choice of quality educational programs to help serve many students with different needs. Hundreds of students have found success in our communities that focus on trauma-informed educator practices and building relationships with students and families.

For truant, dropout, or unsuccessful students in grades 9 through 12, look at our Alternative High Schools - New Approach located in Vandalia, Aspire located in Effingham, and Revive located in Litchfield.

For suspended or expelled youth in grades 6 through 8, we offer our Safe Schools programs - FOCUS in Vandalia, TriStar Academy in Effingham, and Phoenix in Litchfield.

For students in grades Kindergarten through 8th who are experiencing difficulty attending school on a regular basis, we provide Regular Attendance Programs.
