Independent Study is a voluntary alternative educational placement for students who would benefit from a flexible academic schedule. Independent Studies requires a minimum of one day a week on-site interaction with a case carrier/supervising teacher to review curriculum assignments, instructional activities, and to assess academic progress. Students with grade-level academic study skills who possess the ability to work independently are considered for these programs. Using a standards-based curriculum founded upon research-based strategies, Independent Study offers students a unique opportunity to earn their high school diploma in an emerging technologically sophisticated society by enhancing their skills of self-discipline and motivation, integrity, and independent thinking. The mission of Independent Studies is to provide an alternative to traditional or continuation education that offers opportunities for students to achieve academic, career, and personal success by providing a variety of individualized instructional programs.
