IN-SCHOOL CREDIT PROGRAMS FOR SECONDARY STUDENTS

 

James H. Groves and other New Castle County schools have joined together to provide services for students who are unable to complete graduation requirements during the regular school day.  The program will permit students to continue their education at their home school and attend classes at the James H. Groves Adult High School in Marshallton.  This alternative design will allow students with academic, family, and work-related problems to stay in school and graduate.   The In-School Credit Program:

•    Provides the student with the opportunity to graduate from his/her home school while enrolled in a flexible program at Groves.
•    Provides a positive, supportive atmosphere for students with a goal of improved attendance and increased student responsibility.
•    Provides assistance for students to overcome life’s problems and complete high school.

 

High school students who are at least 16 years of age and enrolled for at least one credit in their home school may earn an unrestricted number of credits in the Groves In-School Credit Program and still graduate from their home high school.  For more information, consult with your daytime high school counselor or call the James H. Groves office at (302) 683-3642.

Students will be placed into the appropriate program based upon the results of the individual assessments.  It is imperative that the students attempt to score as well as possible on each of these tests (Reading, Mathematics Computation, and Applied Mathematics) along with the writing sample, so that they can be placed correctly.  Schedules will be based solely upon the test scores.
