Individualized Pupil Learning Opportunity (IPLO) and Option 2
Charting a Future of Excellence in Education
FRHSD recognizes that learning can follow many paths, some of which travel outside of the traditional classroom.
Successful completion of such alternative experiences can result in credit with a grade of "S" on our transcript and/or advancement to a higher level course. All experiences must begin with an application, which allows us to ensure that the proposal meets or exceeds New Jersey and district requirements.
Advanced approval for this opportunity is required. We are unable to recognize any experience that a student has begun without an approved application.
Individualized Pupil Learning Opportunity (IPLO)
FRHSD offers students the Individualized Pupil Learning Opportunity (IPLO) to earn credit outside of the traditional classroom to fulfill graduation requirements, and advance by taking classes with accredited educational providers either online or face-to-face in any subject.
To apply for all subjects (except Physical Education): Learn more and apply here.
