YouthBuild Columbus Community School is an ungraded, portfolio-based charter school. As such, students are required to meet certain academic benchmarks set forth by the Ohio Department of Education. Students attend four academic classes including Mathematics, Science, Language Arts, and Humanities. Additionally, students are required to take technical courses in order to graduate from YBCCS.
