The Center is a fully equipped, learning environment designed to assist pregnant teens, teen parents and their babies.

The same curriculum that is required and used in the
traditional schools is used in the Teen Parent Program based upon:
- PUSD Academic Standards
- California State Standards
- California State Frameworks

Instruction
Students meet one-on-one with a credentialed
teacher during regularly scheduled weekly appointments. New
Directions individualized learning plans are prepared and require
independent completion.
Students work on 1-2 lessons at a time. Students may also take classes not offered by New Directions such as physical education, advanced math, and science labs on the Poway High School campus.
The ultimate goal is to continue the education of these young men and women and prepare them and their children for success in school and society.
