Who attends

The International Transition Center has no attendance zone. It “opened in August 2016 to serve English Language Learners, grades 8-12, who are students with limited or interrupted formal education,” according to its About Us page. The middle school program aims to build English and math skills so students can graduate within four years of entering high school; the high school program adds career skills for the workforce or adult education.
