Providing Urban Learners Success in Education (PULSE) High School is a transfer school that inspires a passion for learning through a student-centered curriculum. In this curriculum, students learn core subjects through challenging, real-world problems and projects. In partnership with Learning to Work, PULSE High School builds strong connections between academic work, community-based partners, pupil personnel services and family support.
