Humanities Prep, a small progressive school housed in the Bayard Rustin High School campus in Chelsea, welcomes both 14-year-old 9th graders and older teenagers who have been truant or failed in more traditional settings. Founded as a program in Bayard Rustin, it became a school in its own right in 1997 and has grown so successful that virtually all of its graduates go on to four-year colleges. It has frequent visitors from around the country eager to see an alternative model that works. In September 2005, a group of Humanities Prep teachers and students cloned the idea and began their own sister school just down the hall: the James Baldwin School.
