Students who are currently enrolled in the 10th and 11th grades are eligible to apply. Now in its second year of operation, the school is designed for high-potential, underachieving high school students. It's a collaborative effort between OCC and the Newport-Mesa Unified School District.
Classes are open to high school students from throughout Orange County.
Approximately 65 high school sophomores and juniors are enrolled this year in the program. Beginning next fall, it will be open to high school juniors and seniors, only. We offer a small-school environment, with all the classes necessary for students to earn their high school diploma. Our students are also eligible to enroll concurrently in credit courses offered by Orange Coast College. The program is funded by the State Chancellor's Office of the California Community Colleges.
