Program Description
Lindsay school is a high school program for pregnant and parenting teens. Lindsay offers a comprehensive academic program including prenatal and parenting education classes. It has a staff of two fully credentialed teachers who are assisted by two teacher aides. It also offers childcare for babies and toddlers while students attend school. Our two major goals for pregnant students who do not wish to attend a regular school setting are as follows:

• To help each student cope with her special needs because of early pregnancy and approaching parenthood.
To help each student continue her academic education.

Lindsay is committed to providing a link between the unique needs of the students and the social services available in the community. We want our students to know what those services are and how to access them. We have concentrated on forming relationships with various community agencies here in San Diego. Representatives from these agencies come to our site on a regular basis to give information and to counsel students as needed. The following is a list of those agencies with which we are involved:

• AIDS Foundation of San Diego
• Kid Care Express

• Center for Child Protection/Children's Hospital
