The Association for High School Innovation creates pathways and expands options to future success for all youth. AHSI was formed in 2003 as the Alternative High School Initiative with generous support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
AHSI now operates independently as a national network of youth development organizations operating over 275 schools and programs in 35 states and 170 cities nationwide. AHSI intends to lead - through innovation and intentional collaboration - a national response to the imperative that our country educate all youth.
The New AHSI Enterprise
As of October 1, 2009 AHSI launched a new enterprise dedicated to expanding the number of high quality alternatives and pathways to graduation nationwide. AHSI is working to scale-up results achieved by this highly regarded network of practitioners, helping ensure that a greater number of this nation’s underserved youth graduate high school prepared for promising futures.
