What We Do

Opportunities Unlimited re-engages students who are off-track in their education, enabling students ages 17 -20 to earn their alternative high school diploma. OU students are able to work towards their traditional high school diploma if the student has 50 credits or less to earn. After successful completion of OU, students have the option of concurrently enrolling in Front Range Community College.

OU is a one semester program with a roster of 18-20 students. Classes are Monday-Thursday 10:30am-3:45pm, and Friday 10:30am-2:30pm. On Wednesdays, we travel off campus to participate in service-learning projects, field trips, and job shadows.

For students who wish to attend FRCC after successfully completing OU, they will take classes on campus at FRCC as well as a attending a college support class with the OU Staff to monitor grades, attendance, and progress in their college courses.
