Credit Recovery
Fixing a Bad Grade
So, you need to repeat a class. Maybe you failed a course…or maybe you just want to do better than you did the first time. No worries! It happens to the best of students. CHS can help!
You can take any of the courses in our High School Online Course Catalog for credit recovery.
Tips for successfully retaking a course for credit
Taking a course over again seems like a daunting task–and probably a little boring, too. But, there are some real positives to the second time around. Here are a few…
- You may have failed the first time around, but remember this: you took the course before, so you know a lot more than you think!
- Take some time to go back over your problem areas from the first attempt. In all likelihood, what you did well on during the school year you will do well on again, so focus a little more on those topics that were tougher.
- Focus on this one course. If you bombed Chemistry during the school year, you won't have English, math, social studies, PE, and economics draining your energy and focus during the summer. Focusing will help enormously.
- Summer allows you to study at your own pace and on your own terms. If your 7am Physical class put you to sleep, why not study at noon in the summer? It's up to you!
- Online teachers love to help! Our teachers welcome the opportunity to assist students one on one. Take advantage of their expertise!
- Choose from a list of over 150 accredited courses and electives to satisfy graduation requirements, prepare you for college or an exciting career
- Check with your guidance counselor about courses that you can take that will satisfy the same course requirement but might be a little more interesting to you personally. For example, will Introduction to Game Design work in place of Intro to Programming?
- All CHS Summer School courses are taught by teachers who are there to assist and encourage you at every step.
