Program Details
About Our School:
Worthington is a tuition-free public high school serving ages 15 through 21. We feature open enrollment and two sessions per day – morning and afternoon – providing unique schedule flexibility that empowers students to receive a quality education and earn their high school diploma while working, caring for family, or managing other commitments.
Once enrolled, we work with students to create an Individualized Success Plan (ISP) so they can immediately begin courses and start earning credits towards their high school diploma. Courses are computer-based and self-paced with personalized support provided by state-certified teachers.
About Our Model:
Our program is thoughtfully designed to satisfy the needs of our diverse learners. From enrollment to graduation (and beyond!), we're here to support you.
Getting Started: Every student begins with a 3-day orientation that includes an assessment and transcript review to determine the appropriate placement and identify the need for any remedial assistance. We also identify social support needs and proactively provide appointments with the appropriate providers. After orientation, students are placed into one of our two flexible sessions and are ready to get started.
Tracking Progress: Each student’s personalized Success Dashboard offers instant feedback, displaying progress on current coursework, attendance, course grades, GPA, and credits earned. Students meet regularly with academic advisors as they progress through their goals. Parents and Guardians receive access to the same dashboard and Parents Nights twice-a-year.
Academic Support: Our teacher-directed, computer-based program, paired with comprehensive assessments, enabling us to uniquely serve each student and shape individual instruction to address specific needs. Detailed reports provide our staff with robust data to help determine coaching and tutoring strategies for success on required End-of-Course Assessments.
Language Support: Our program is also designed to serve English Language Learners (ELL). Courses can be translated and instructed in Spanish, Haitian Creole, and 23 other languages. Our Curriculum is supported by specialized bi-lingual teachers trained to help first time English learners.
Social Support: Our teacher advocate model pairs each student a primary teacher while assigning a secondary mentor to help guide each student through their journey. Family Support Specialists (FFS) work closely with faculty, staff, licensed counselors, and community resource providers to offer comprehensive wraparound services to meet each student’s personal needs.
Career Support: Career Coaches provide additional instructional time focused on employability, career and college readiness, and post-secondary options. Beyond career planning, our courses can include Career and Technical Education (CTE) that includes role-specific training and certification designed around in-demand jobs.
The Finish Line: As soon as enough credits are earned, students can graduate immediately with a standard diploma. Graduation ceremonies are held in June.
