Abraxas High School

Poway, CA Grades 9-12 & up to 22
Developmental disabilities Students at risk of not graduating Continuation high school

Abraxas High School is Poway Unified's continuation high school, built for students who need a smaller, more flexible setting than a traditional high school to earn their diploma. Most of our students are 16 or older and choose Abraxas with their families. We offer smaller classes, open entry and open exit, alternative ways to earn elective credits, a shortened day when appropriate and work-study options. California named us a Model Continuation School in 2020, and we are accredited by WASC. New students start in our Success Class, which covers study skills, stress management, conflict strategies and planning. Our counselors, school psychologist and a Mending Matters mental health therapist provide academic counseling, college and career guidance, and individual and group counseling. Our campus also houses the district's Adult Transition Program, which has served young adults with developmental disabilities since 1986. Students ages 18 to 22 who have not earned a diploma and are placed by their IEP team build independence through classroom instruction and community-based training in vocational, community and independent living skills.
