SHARED INSTRUCTION

At Washington Irving YABC, we pride ourselves on creating a unique, exciting environment that embraces all types of learners and promotes growth both academically and personally.

Our shared instruction academic program is designed for juniors and seniors students who have fallen behind in credit but still want to graduate on time. This means the students will be cared for jointly by the home day school and Washington Irving.

Counselors should prioritize sending and registering seniors who are capable of graduating in their senior year. Students can only register for classes that we offer at Washington Irving YABC. Home schools, students, and families are encouraged to look for alternatives should this YABC be unable to meet their request.
