SCHS Yuma Campus
Families across Yuma looking for a flexible, tuition-free high school option can find meaningful support at the Student Choice High School Yuma Campus. We serve students who need credit recovery, a second chance through dropout recovery, or a smaller academic setting focused on helping them earn an accredited high school diploma.
About SCHS Yuma Campus
The SCHS Yuma Campus is part of the Student Choice High School network, which has been serving Arizona students since 2000. As a public charter high school, we provide a tuition-free education for students in grades 9–12, including young adults up to age 22 who are working toward graduation.
Our campus operates Monday through Friday with two daily sessions: 7:15–11:15 a.m. and 11:45 a.m.–3:45 p.m. Students attend one of these structured blocks and complete coursework using a standards-based online curriculum aligned with Arizona graduation requirements. Certified teachers are present during each session to provide direct academic assistance, monitor progress, and support student learning.
Unlike large traditional campuses, our smaller setting allows staff to work closely with students. We track credit completion carefully and hold regular academic check-ins to keep students focused on their graduation timeline. Students earn credits based on demonstrated mastery of course material, not just time spent in class.
We also provide free Chromebook access for enrolled students, allowing them to complete coursework both on campus and at home as needed.
For students age 16 and older who previously stepped away from high school or are simply interested in transferring to our program, our dropout or credit recovery pathway provides an opportunity to return and pursue a traditional diploma rather than a GED. Our team reviews transcripts, identifies completed coursework, and builds a personalized graduation plan that clearly outlines remaining requirements.
