Career Success High School (CSHS) is a North Central Association (AdvancED) accredited alternative high school that serves students who are having difficulty finding success in a traditional school setting. Our mission is to educate and graduate students who have not been successful in a traditional high school setting. Typically, our students leave the traditional schools because of poor attendance, health, medical issues, behavior problems and credit deficiencies. Our belief is that all students can choose to learn, and ours want a more flexible schedule. We offer a “work at your own pace” program which gives the student additional time to complete classes, if needed. We follow a block calendar; however, open enrollment allows students to continue their classes past the end of the grading period based on their enrollment date and withdrawal grades from their previous school. We enroll students throughout the year so a large number of our enrollments come during the school year. As other students graduate or leave, we have space to accommodate new enrollments.

In September 2013, Career Success High School was approved by the Arizona Department of Education to begin operations of a Dropout Recovery Program (in full compliance with A.R.S. § 15-901.06). Career Success High School launched this initiative as a pilot project in the Phoenix area to establish program feasibility, confirm market viability, and to validate expected resource requirements. According to the Arizona Department of Education, for the 2012-2013 school year, there were more than 18,000 dropouts just for that single school year. Through various outreach efforts including with civic and social organizations, community center liaisons and contact with students/families, enrollment quickly grew in just a few short months. We currently have over 250 students participating in our Dropout Recovery Program. Join us! DRP@csschools.com

Many of the students we have enrolled in the DRP are two or more years behind in school credits and are 18/19 years old. For the majority of the transcripts we receive, most of the student’s credits are electives with very little core coursework completed. As we assess each student’s level, we design an individualized program that may include assignment of lower level courses, courses that help them work toward credit recovery, and a full course plan leading them to graduation.

Students attending our Dropout Recovery Program have often experienced a large number of barriers in their lives which may have prevented them from completing their high school diploma or have circumstances that keep them falling further and further behind in their academics. We have students that are living with their parents/guardians and they are the bread winners of the family. We have students that are in difficult living situations with other family members, foster homes, group homes or even homeless. Many of our students are also parents that bring upon them added responsibilities and schedule pressures. These barriers are just a few of the reasons we need the Dropout Recovery Program. In short, the Dropout Recovery Program gives these students a fighting chance to be successful in high school. Join us! DRP@csschools.com
