Multiple Alternative Program (MAP)
The Multiple Alternative Program (MAP) is a High School credit recovery program, which includes academic and vocational training for Delaware residents 16 – 21 years of age, who no longer attend their regular high school. Courses are offered in all of the core academic areas (Math, Social Studies, English and Science) in addition to a Career Pathway plus *Driver Education.
Delaware Graduation Requirements
High School Course Credits
All students will be assessed to determine if they are able to work at the high school level. Those students, who do not meet the minimum score, will be provided with enrichment work which will assist them as they earn elective credits, and progress towards the high school level and eventually earn their diploma.
Delaware residents between the ages of 16 & 21 who have withdrawn from a traditional high school and do not have a diploma are eligible to attend MAP. Students who enroll after October 1st will be charged a $40.00 fee for administration and processing.
There will be two locations available to serve students. The New Castle satellite located at 710 Wilmington Rd. will offer four separate 3-hour sessions Monday through Thursday. The Marshallton Education Center located at 1703 School Lane not only serves as the main office, it houses both enrichment and credit classes if needed. Contact the MAP office at 683-3642 or 683-3643 for additional information.
Eligibility
Delaware residents ages 16 through 21 who no longer attend high school may apply. Students who have been expelled, or who have left their previously attended school to avoid expulsion Are Not Eligible.
Application Process
To apply for admission to the Multiple Alternative Program (MAP) individuals must:
- Schedule Assessment Testing.
- Completed application packet that includes an official withdraw form from the most recently attended high school.
- An *Official High School Transcript* is required to accurately determine what courses the student needs to earn the State of Delaware Diploma.
*To be considered an Official Transcript it must be signed by a representative of the school and placed in a sealed envelope.* Students can provide an unofficial transcript for evaluation, but must sign the Request for Official Transcript form. Please note that applicants are responsible for any and all transcript fees.
Start-up information
Applications will be accepted beginning July 5th at the Adult Education Office located in the Marshallton Education Center. Call the office at 683-3642 or 683-3643.
Intake Assessments/Orientation
Intake Assessment and Orientation will begin in July 2011 and continue until September 13th at the Marshallton Education Center. Students enrolling during the day after September 13th will be processed at the individual MAP locations, with evening enrollees being processed at the Marshallton site.
Enrollment Process
Students who have officially withdrawn from their regular high school must provide an Official Transcript so that the remaining courses required for graduation can be determined. Intake assessments to assist in placement will be followed by a transcript review and counseling session. Students will then be scheduled into the appropriate courses to meet the 22 credit graduation requirements as determined by the Delaware Department of Education.
*DRIVER EDUCATION PROGRAM
Driving instruction is offered two sessions per year. Day and/or evening classes are offered to NCCVTSD students in the fall and spring. Students are required to complete 30 hours of classroom work plus an additional 14 hours on the road. Students enrolled in our educational programs that have not previously been offered Driver Education may qualify for the training tuition free. Students, who do not qualify for the tuition waiver, are required to pay the full tuition of $465, at registration. Due to space limitations, New Castle County Vo-Tech School Districts will be given priority. Students from other schools may enroll if there is space available. Students who are 18 years of age or who will be turning 18 prior to the completion of the course will not receive a blue certificate. These students must complete both sections at the DMV.
Hours of Operation
The New Castle satellite will offer four separate 3-hour sessions from 7:30 AM to 8:00 PM. Marshallton will offer three separate 3-hour sessions from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Students will be enrolled into a specific class time, based upon both their schedule and available space in the class.
