Credit Recovery Program

Does your student need help getting back on track?

Your student’s success is our first priority. Whether they’re behind on credits or didn’t pass a subject the first time, our credit recovery program is uniquely designed to help them catch up.

A Flexible and Efficient Approach to Credit Recovery

Our online credit recovery courses:

  • Use new approaches to teach unlearned concepts
  • Allow students to move past material they’ve already mastered
  • Let students test out of the material they’ve already learned and focus strictly on what they need to learn to pass 

Because of this approach, students can often stay on top of their current classes while catching up. Or, they can take credit recovery courses during special summer sessions.

Embedded Courses (HS)

ISOK offers the opportunity for students to embed courses with similar standards into each other. This involves students completing work and meeting standards of two (2) courses at the same time, while only completing work and attending classes for one overall course. This way, students will earn credits for both courses in the time it takes for one course. Current embedded options include Journalism, Interpersonal Communication, Public Speaking, Creative Writing, Gothic Literature, Veterinary Science, Environmental Science, Astronomy, Life Skills, and Forensic Science.

Credit by Examination (HS)

ISOK offers a week-long class to prepare students to complete the Credit by Examination (CBE) assessment. The student must score 80% on the assessment if taking for the first time to earn credit for the course. If a student has attempted the course previously, they need to score 60% on the assessment to earn credit for the course. CBEs are completed in Progress Learning and are proctored by teachers, counselors, and/or graduation coaches.
