                                     CREDIT FLEXIBILITY



               Credit Flexibility is designed to broaden the scope of curricular options available to students, increase
               the depth of study available for a particular subject, and tailor the learning time or conditions needed
               to complete a high school diploma.  Students may earn credits through:
                         the completion of courses;
                         testing out or otherwise demonstrating mastery of the course content;
                         pursuit of one or more “educational options” (e.g. distance learning, educational travel,
                          independent study, internship, after-school program, community service or engagement
                          project, and research).

               A  student  who  chooses  educational  options  must  inform  the  school  and  pre-identify  the  learning
               outcomes.  The school and student will mutually agree upon the criteria for earning credit.

               A  student  interested  in  credit  flexibility  should  contact  the  assigned  counselor  for  more  specific
               information.    Participation  in  the  credit  flexibility  program  requires  a  completed  application,
               administrative approval, and an agreed-upon educational options contract.
