Independent Study Program
We are excited you are interested in getting your high school diploma!
We offer an independent study model of instruction. Students attend a weekly 30 minute appointment with the teacher. Appointments are available in the morning and the evening. In order to help students progress, regular attendance at the weekly appointment is mandatory.
The teacher assigns each student about 20 hours of work per week to be reviewed at their weekly appointment.
In-person and online instruction is available.
How do I enroll?
1. Sign up for the high school diploma interest list
2. The High School Counselor will send you an informational video and the reading assessment link.
3. Order official transcripts from any high school and/or colleges attended.*
4. Take the reading assessment, and once you’ve reached and passed the 7th grade reading level, email the counselor, [email protected], notifying her that you have completed this requirement. The counselor will set up an intake meeting with you so you can start working towards your high school diploma.
5. You will be placed on the waiting list. When a spot opens up, attend the required orientation to include paperwork and scheduling
*NOTE: If you recently attended a Santa Clara Unified School District high school: Santa Clara High School, Wilcox High School, New Valley, or Wilson High School, you do not need to obtain an official transcript. Instead, email Katie Bennett directly at [email protected]
