No, at this time Uplift does not provide transportation to and from school. Families and scholars are responsible for their own transportation to and from school.

Families of scholars currently enrolled in Uplift schools are eligible for transfers to another Uplift school where we have open seats.

 

See the steps below:

 

  • Complete an application indicating their first preference for their desired Uplift school to transfer.
    • Note: If a family has multiple scholars that they are interested in moving, they will need to fill out a separate application per scholar (being sure to use the same parent email in each application).
    • Note: We highly encourage families to tell us their top three preferences should there be no open seats at their first-choice school.
  • Transfer students will be given preference in the lottery on February 1st. Applications after the lottery will be given seats based on open seats available on a rolling basis.

Uplift Healthcare High Schools will provide services for English Learners. Individual LPACs (Language Proficiency Assessment Committees) will make recommendations about the most appropriate services for each scholar.
