~ HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA ~ Transfer High Schools Transfer Schools are very good options for youth who are over-age and under-credited. They are small, academically rigorous, full-time high schools designed to re-engage students who are over-age and under-credited or have dropped out of high school. The essential elements of transfer schools include: a personalized learning environment, rigorous academic standards, student-centered pedagogy, support to meet instructional and developmental goals, and a focus on connections to college. Each transfer school determines admissions criteria individually. Detailed information can be found below. For admissions criteria and application processing, call the schools. Students, parents and guidance counselors can contact transfer schools directly to set up an intake interview or to learn more about the school. * New transfer school in 2008-09 School Name Bronx Academy HS Bronx Community HS Bronx Haven HS Bronx Regional HS City As School Crotona Academy Jill Chaifetz Transfer School P.U.L.S.E.
