ELO

The Extended Learning Opportunity Program is designed to provide students with choices about their high school education and receive credit based on their interests. Projects can include, but are not limited to: private instruction, advanced study, career exploration, apprenticeships, service learning, online courses, internships, performing groups, project based learning, and independent study.

Students will work with a teacher or a community/business partner (if applicable) to complete the study. For more information about the ELO options please see your school counselor. The Extended Learning Opportunity (ELO) program is a student driven venture. The program allows students to explore their passions and interest for high school credit. Fueled by student interest and inquiry, the program offers exceptional learning opportunities in unconventional settings. In essence – the student creates a “course” and designs the curriculum with the help of teachers.

ELOs are designed to fill elective credits toward graduation. Student achievement is predicated upon engagement in comprehensive research, mindful reflection, innovative projects, and a public presentation. To begin the ELO process please follow this link for the application.
