History

Association House of Chicago originally began a Graduate Educational Development program to help individuals in the community who were unable to complete their education in a traditional setting back in the early 1980's. This program continued as the only alternative education that AHC provided to the community until 1999 when AHC decided to begin an alternative high school named El Cuarto Año. El Cuarto Año (ECA) served teens and young adults 16–21 years old who had been dropped from other schools or were unable to complete their school work in a traditional setting. In the first year, El Cuarto Año enrolled 75 students.
