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.
