The goal of the G230 Academy is to provide students who would benefit from a non-traditional classroom setting with an opportunity to obtain academic credit and extended teacher that will lead to the earning of a high school diploma.

Priority is given to 12th grade students who are deficient in credits and need recovery intervention in order to make up credits and receive a diploma. Students who achieve sufficient credit recovery prior to graduation will graduate with their comprehensive high school. G230 students do have the option for early graduation if they satisfy all requirements.

Location:
All High Schools & Pearson Education Center

Attendance:
Monday - Friday
Two in-person sessions available:
8:30 AM - 12:30 PM OR 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Main Curriculum Source:
Apex

Credit Recovery:
Varies per students as this is a self-paced program

Ideal G230 Students are:

• 11th-12th grade students

• Motivated to improve graduation status

• In need of flexible school schedule

Down Credits - High school juniors and seniors who are deficient credits, need recovery intervention and accelerated options to make up credits and get back on track for graduation.  Seniors have priority but junior referrals are accepted,

• Students identified as at-risk of dropping out and who, for a variety of reasons, have found that the traditional structure of a comprehensive site is not the ideal learning environment for them.

• Students who demonstrate skills in organization, motivation, and self-discipline that would make an individualized, on-line learning environment more suitable for their learning style and success.

• Students must be able to attend classes daily and provide their own transportation.

• Students must demonstrate behavior consistent with a quiet, productive learning environment.

High school administrators and counselors refer students to the G230 Academy. Enrollment depends on available space. When the program reaches capacity, subsequent referrals are placed on a waitlist until space becomes available. G230 Academy staff notify counselors and/or students or parents when space opens up and they are next on the waitlist. In some cases, G230 Academy can enroll students who have not obtained their diploma and who have not been continuously enrolled in school after their 12th grade year.
