Credit by Demonstrated Mastery (CDM)
Credit by Demonstrated Mastery (CDM)
Students may earn high school credit for specified courses without spending a set number of hours taking the course in a classroom.
Under the state’s Credit by Demonstrated Mastery (CDM) option, uniquely qualified students may “test out” or bypass a course if they have already mastered the content.
The program provides another opportunity for students to learn new content, to challenge themselves with the next level of rigor in a subject, and even graduate early. This option is not designed to replace existing accelerated pathways, such as the Academically and Intellectually Gifted (AIG) program at WCPSS.
