Back to top MetroED is an unusual, public school district comprised of both vocational and adult education units. CCOC serves both high school students and adults. Adult students come from the community and through various employment training programs and the local Job Corps site. ROP programs at the feeder high school sites serve their own students who are at the junior and senior level.
Students are ethnically and economically diverse coming from all ethnic and socioeconomic groups.
One of the largest Adult Education programs in California, MAEP, serves nearly 43,000 adults at over 50 locations throughout San Jose and Campbell. MAEP and CCOC cooperatively provide an alternative high school program on the CCOC campus called Capitol High. This unique high school experience allows students to complete their academic work during half of their school day in a small, dynamic group situation. During the other half of the day, Capitol High students pursue a vocational interest as regular CCOC students. A consolidated unit of Metropolitan Education District, Metropolitan Community Interest Programs, manages the district's large number of fee-based programs.
