Accelerated Learning Program

​​

The Accelerated Learning Program is a unique program offered by Essex Campus Academy to help students earn additional credits towards graduation.  It is a comprehensive approach that helps students develop critical thinking, research and reporting skills via research and written assignments on specific topics in a particular subject area.  The program seeks to offer students an opportunity to earn extra credits by conducting research and writing a series of reports. 

 

Students who participate in the program can earn as many as 10 credits, 5 in English and 5 in a designated subject area.  Participants are to submit 5 written reports on topics selected by the Principal (or designee).  Each report will be discussed and reviewed by the Principal and a teacher.  The report will be graded by examining content (designated subject) and form (English).  The report may be returned to the student for further work if deemed unacceptable.  Once a report is accepted, it will be graded and awarded credits in each subject area that applies toward graduation. 

 

Students will have additional opportunities to earn credits based on assignments that are approved by the Principal.  These assignments must be approved by the students’ individual case manager.
