The Olmsted Academy North Youth Services Center (YSC) is available to help remove barriers to student learning. We assist students and families through programs and referrals to outside agencies and by partnering with groups within and outside of the school. Our programs and services are determined by the needs of the population served and available resources. We work with families to improve students’ attendance, to decrease problems with behavior, to offer academic support, to deal with mental/physical health issues and to offer parent support and assistance. These services are available to all families and students. The YSC was created as part of the Kentucky Education Reform Act (KERA).
