Program Information
The Independent Study Program (ISP) was created for students who are unable to attend school in the traditional five-days-a-week, six-periods-a-day format. This is generally due to mental and physical health reasons.
- ISP provides an opportunity for students to enjoy the resources of a comprehensive high school, but with an academic program tailored to the individual student.
- ISP offers flexibility to meet individual student needs, interests, and styles of learning.
- All IS classes are taught by credentialed teachers that are part of the ECRCHS teaching staff.
- ISP students work independently, according to a written agreement and under the general supervision of a credentialed teacher or teachers.
- Independent study can be used on a short-term or long-term basis.
- All standards-based academic courses comply with UC/CSU A-G requirements and focus on college preparedness, with the goal of preparing each student for success beyond high school.
- Students who graduate from the Independent Study program receive an ECRCHS diploma.
