These documents will help the counselors place you in the program that best suits your needs. The High School Credit Diploma Program is for people who are at least 16 years old and have officially withdrawn from day school. You must attain a certain score on the CCS placement test to gain admittance. Day and evening classes are available. Upon attainment of 20 credits, students receive a high school diploma, awarded by the New Haven Board of Education.
Classes meet four days a week.
IDPs or Individualized Learning Packets are available to students enrolled in the HS Credit Program who are one or two credits short of the 20 credits needed to graduate. Students receive instruction and assistance for completing the packets, which can be worked on at home or in the Resource Lab. Students study English, Math, Social Studies, or Science and take proficiency tests on the material to earn credit. Enrolled studnets who have previous employment experience, volunteer experience, and military duty may be eligible for credit. Please see a counselor to determine whether you are eligible.
