YEARRRN Academy empowers students through personalized instruction, mentorship, and flexible learning opportunities in supportive environments where every learner can thrive.
The daily communication, teaching, mentoring, and coaching that YEARRRN Academy provides gives each student learner a reason to improve their grades, attendance, and social-emotional well-being.
Providing these additional well-being touches changes the way students see themselves — and eventually leads to a life-long legacy of learning.

Enrollment is through district referral. Placement is determined by each participating school district's Alternative Education Placement Committee, in accordance with Delaware Department of Education Regulation 611.
The student's home school determines that an alternative educational setting may be required. The discipline team completes the referral packet before submitting it to the home school district for review.
The district's Alternative Education Placement Committee reviews the referral to determine eligibility for placement in accordance with DDOE Regulation 611. For students with disabilities, the IEP Team makes the placement decision.
Once the district determines eligibility, the completed referral packet and supporting documentation are forwarded to YEARRRN Academy. Program staff verify eligibility and initiate the enrollment process.
An intake meeting is scheduled with the student, parent/guardian, district representative, and program staff to review expectations and develop an Individual Service Plan.
The student begins enrollment at YEARRRN Academy. Staff continuously monitor academic achievement, attendance, behavioral progress, and social-emotional development.
