What are the expectations of the program?

Night School Program:

If you are in the night school program, you will be required to attend a minimum of 1 class per week on Tuesday evening from 6-8. This class will provide ways to earn Math, Science, English, Social Studies, and Physical Education credit. Elective credit will need to be earned as well through academic classes or work experience.

Day School Program: 

You are expected to attend 5 days per week.  You will meet with your counselor to review your transcript and develop a schedule. 

You are also required to have a graduation goal and a plan in place. For example, You may want to graduate early, and you plan on finishing your classes in December rather than in May. If you don’t have a plan you are required to create one with your counselor within the first two weeks you start school.

How will Instruction be provided?

Depending on the program chosen, instruction is individualized for each student based on what they need to graduate from High School. Your work may involve a combination of independent tasks, meaning you will be responsible for completing your own work. Teachers will be available to assist you along the way and monitor your progress. Classwork can take various forms, including direct instruction, independent packet work, projects, presentations, side contracts, testing, and online classes.

How will credits be earned?

All the classwork you do will be worth points. For every 90 points of work in each class you will earn a .5 credit towards graduation. You need 22.5 credits to graduate and receive a high school diploma.
