HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA PROGRAM
These charter high school sites provide students (ranging in age from 15 to 23) with a holistic learning experience that integrates academics with experiential learning opportunities, facilitating success for nontraditional learners. The length a student is enrolled can vary from six months to three years, depending on how many credits they enter with and the pace at which they learn.
LA Conservation Corps High School offers a small school setting of approximately 100 students, and small class sizes of approximately 10 to 15 students per class. Caring teachers take the time to work with students and help them learn. LA Conservation Corps High School also has case managers who are available to meet with students and assist them with overcoming personal challenges to successfully graduating.
Because LA Conservation Corps High School students are 18 and older, this campus focuses on job skills and transitioning participants into employment and college. Since returning to the classroom can be difficult for these students, the school eases the transition by using a “service learning model," where the lessons students learn in the classroom are integrated into the hands-on environmental and community service projects they perform with the Corps’ Young Adult Corps.
