High school graduation is an important goal, but for some of us the path to get there can be full of twists and turns. Are you missing credits? Do you need to make up courses? Well, we have good news: your past doesn’t define you – and your future starts now! Here’s how our tuition-free charter high school can help.
Credit Recovery Defined
Students who fail or miss a high school class may not have enough credits to be able to meet graduation requirements. Credit recovery programs give you the opportunity to earn those credits and get back on the path to graduation. At Edge, we use a variety of strategies and programs to give our students the opportunity to redo coursework or retake a course through alternate means. We’ll help you try again and earn academic credit. And our self-paced model allows you the opportunity to recover credit on your own timeline.
Will Credit Recovery Work For Me?
Absolutely! Over the course of the most recent school year the average Edge student
📈advanced 2 years in English skills
📈advanced 1.5 years in math skills
And 30 percent of our students increased 3 grade level skills in one year!
Implementing strategies like working on school work at home and participating in before or after school tutoring will help you achieve your graduation goals. Unlike other high school experiences you may have had, at Edge, we believe in you and are committed to your success!
Will Credit Recovery Fit In My Schedule?
Whether you are the CEO of procrastination or a motivated student that wants to work at a faster pace, the simple answer is….YES. All of our students have busy schedules, with job and family demands that can make school work a challenge. We’ll help you take charge of your education and graduate at a pace that works for you. We offer a shorter school day and year-round scheduling — lots of options to fit credit recovery into your schedule.
How Do I Earn Credits?
Credit recovery varies depending on the program. At Edge High School you take only 3 classes at a time, allowing you to focus and accomplish more than in a traditional school. Most students are able to complete courses in 2-3 months. Unlike a traditional school, at Edge you do not have to wait until the end of a quarter or semester in order to earn credit. Our students earn credit when they finish all the assignments on their syllabus with a 70% or higher on each assignment.
What If I Struggle to Learn?
We teach Growth Mindsets and the science behind it – which means that even if you struggle with certain skills, your abilities aren’t set in stone. Our teachers, counselors and staff go by first names with our students – we are here to build relationships with you. Our supportive 1:1 instruction model and daily check-ins ensure that we know what’s on your mind, and if you need us, we are here for you. We will help you process and cope with challenges that may affect your ability to succeed, and can connect you with on-campus tutoring or outside resources if you need them. Edge is a shame-free zone where you are always free to share your worries with our staff.
