What are the expectations FOR students?

Students who enroll in Options attend six hours of classes, one day per week, and are considered part-time students. Parents choosing Options still consider home schooling as their primary means of educating their children. In order for Options to receive funding, each registered student must spend a minimum of 90 hours per semester with a licensed teacher hired by Options, for a minimum of 180 hours per school year. These are regularly scheduled hours for classes held at Options School sites.

High School students are eligible, after 1 year of attendance in the Options Program, to participate in the Concurrent Enrollment Program.  College level courses may by taken at a local community college, with tuition being paid up front by the Aurora Public School District.  See the page on this website under High School: Concurrent Enrollment, for more information.
