High School options include interest-based and criteria-based programs. There are programs for students entering high school as well as for those already in high school. Applications for any of these programs must be submitted in the fall of the current grade level for the following school year. Programs that begin in Grade 9 are full time programs. Programs beginning in grades 10-12 are part-time programs; students take core courses at the local high school, and the program courses offsite.
Request support from your student’s counselor with accessing the application (starting on 10/4/2024). Solicite ayuda al consejero de su estudiante para acceder a la solicitud (a partir del 4/10/2024).
