HIGH SCHOOL -

• Students who are one year or more behind academically and need to recover credits should apply. 

  • Students are self-paced, meaning that they dictate how fast they recover credits. Recovering credits is highly dependent on the student's level of interest, focus, motivation, and determination to work the learning process. 

JUNIOR HIGH -
