Program are individualized to meet your specific needs, so program length will be different for each student.

Although we have a classroom setting, the structure is different from traditional high school. Because the instructor is tailoring the program to suit your needs, you will see a mix of small group work, one-on-one instruction, computer-assisted learning, and full group instruction.

Don’t worry! Many of our students enter the program with low math scores. The instructors will assess where you are in math and work one-on-one in a small group setting to help you improve. Many students are amazed at how quickly they gain confidence.

We offer full days, as well as part-time mornings or afternoons.

• Full-time hours are 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
• Morning classes run from 9:00 a.m. to 11:40 a.m.
• Afternoon classes run from 12:20 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

All our programs run from Monday to Friday.
