This program is for students who are capable academically of continuing towards their regular high school diploma. Small class size and individual assistance as well as pre-testing, discussion and teacher observation offer another option for students to have a second chance to obtain their high school diploma. A hands-on curriculum offers students to learn life-long activities through doing. The program is a four-year plan, but completion time may vary based on individual levels of success. The program will offer small class sizes with differentiated instruction concentrating on individual strengths for success. An Adventure Based component also addresses the social and emotional student needs. Students in the regents program continue to be eligible for the high school athletic programs.
