While receiving services at WGA, youth attend the George Junior Republic Union Free School District (GJR UFSD).
GJR UFSD is a Special Act Services school district offering a New York State Public Education Program for students in grades 7-12. The curriculum follows New York State Learning Standards. Classes are 6:1:1 or 6:1:2, which represents six students/one Special Education teacher/one or two Special Education paraprofessional(s).
Reading Specialists and Speech Language Therapists are available as needed. Academic experiences are enriched through an extended day curriculum and an extended school year. Each youth has their own Individualized Education Plan (IEP); the small class size enables students to receive instruction that is appropriate to meeting their educational goals.
Students earn high school credits towards New York State graduation requirements that are transferrable to any school district within the state. The school also has an approved Alternative High School Equivalency Program that allows eligible students a thorough TASC preparation.
