Multiple Academic Programs
Cherry Creek Schools offers multiple college and career programs that support various learning experiences. These programs provide students with the opportunities to earn academic credit for high school graduation. Each program is accessed based on the individual student’s academic interest and unique needs.
Students pursue a pathway over multiple years and graduate prepared for a full range of postsecondary options— two- or four-year college/university, industry recognized certifications, youth apprenticeship, military service or formal job training. Through these college and career pathways, students are prepared for both career and college, not just one or the other.
Advanced Placement (AP)
Advanced placement courses allow students to take advanced, college-level courses. In addition to rigorous courses, students will take an end-of-course exam. Colleges and Universities have varying policies on the test score required to earn college credit.
International Baccalaureate (IB)
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is aimed at developing students who have excellent breadth and depth of knowledge—students who flourish physically, intellectually, emotionally and ethically. The program consists of 6 core content course areas and a Theory of Knowledge course that encourages students to think independently and creatively so that they are able to engage on a more global level with others.
CareerWise Colorado
In partnership with CCSD, CareerWise Colorado, coordinates a variety of opportunities for rising junior and senior students to jump-start their career while still in high school by way of apprenticeship. A robust, business-type model created after the Swiss apprentice model, this initiative prepares students for real-world industry needs.
Concurrent Enrollment (CE)
In partnership with the Community College System of Colorado, students have the option to take college-level courses while in high school to earn community college credit. Designated guarantee transfer courses are honored at all of Colorado’s public four-year institutions if a student earns a C or better.
