Credit Flexibility

Credit Flexibility is a student driven process for independent and motivated learners. Through the process, the student demonstrates their understanding and skills according to their unique learning styles and interests in order to meet the requirements and standards for a particular course. Credit for Credit Flexibility is not tired to seat times that are traditionally associated with High School credits.

Guidance counselors at each school can provide more information on the Credit Flexibility program.
