Santa Cruz Teen Center

Santa Cruz Teen Center is an Independent Study program uniquely tailored to meet the individual academic, social and personal needs of every student. Students are expected to attend every day unless they have a job or are pregnant and/or parenting. Student work is individualized and customized according to the interests and skill level of each participant. One-on-one attention and cooperative team interaction make this program a success and attract a diverse population of self-motivated individuals. The atmosphere is casual and dynamic, encouraging all types of positive self-expression in a caring, supportive and understanding environment.
