Tomorrow's Builders Youthbuild Charter School Through the Tomorrow's
Builders Charter School, youth who have either been expelled or have dropped
out from East St. Louis School District #189 can re-enter high school
and earn their diploma. The youth, who range in age from 16-21, find at
the Tomorrow’s Builder Charter School an environment suited to their
individual needs aimed at helping them succeed in a rigorous academic
setting. All youth who enter our Charter School are required to successfully complete
six months in the construction program, and participate in community service
projects, as well as satisfy the Illinois State Board of Education’s
requirements for graduation.
While the construction and community service requirements make our program unique, our instruction methods are also considered to be unconventional, as they are individualized to address the needs of each student. We utilize the E-Learning educational system. This approach involves the use of computerized learning tools to assist students in credit recovery. This approach allows student that may be behind in their educational
the PLATO Learning lab in our 24 station computer lab. We provide credit recovery classes for those who need to “catch up” in their academic classes. We work to service the entire family unit of our students and assist them in connecting to all services offered for them within our community.
