IDK, PP, but for what it's worth, my kid goes to a FOCUS school and is a URM.

I’m the first respondent above. We were at a Focus school, but my DD is not a URM. I was told the recommendation came from her teacher from the previous year.

I will say that one of the benefits was already knowing a few kids at her regional CES from the YSP program, but there wasn’t a substantial overlap between YSP and CES. But that was before they expanded the local CES programs, so I don’t know what it looks like now.

I don’t know whether only certain schools send kids, though. I do know my (now-freshman) daughter’s first year was the first year for the program hosted at Blair, because I had a terrible time finding anything out about it.

It piggybacks on the Saturday School infrastructure, which made it extra-confusing trying to find out about this mysterious YSP thing that isn’t mentioned in any of their literature. But the class is completely separate from those programs, which don’t require an invitation. As I understand it, the YSP program started with schools sending to the other Saturday School location (I can’t remember where that one is), and expanded to the Blair location a few years later.
