ESY - Extended School Year
Where am I?
ESY 2012
Kirkwood High school offers an Extended School Year program (ESY) for its students during the summer. The program consists of credit recovery and credit enhancement courses.
Credit recovery courses are designed for students who fail a core class (Social Studies, Math, English, & Science) and must retake the class to meet a graduation requirement. Courses run 4 hours in length and last 12 days. Students can take one course for a ½ credit or two courses for 1 credit. Session one starts May 29th and session two begins June 14. Bus service is available for students eligible for transportation.
Credit enhancement – Students do not have to fail a course to take a credit enhancement class. Health, Personal Finance, and Lifetime Fitness are the credit enhancement courses offered. Priority is given to senior students who need the course for graduation. Each course runs about 3 hours and last 24 days. There is a class that begins around 7:30 AM and a 2nd class that starts around 10:00 AM. Students can take one course for ½ credit or two courses for 1 credit. Bus service is not available.
The most a student can earn is 1.0 credit in the Extended School Year program.
