Program Description
Located across from the
campus of San Diego City College, the ORACLE Independent Study Program at
Garfield High School is an alternative to traditional schools. Students may be
referred to the ORACLE Program when traditional schools no longer fit their individual
needs. Independent Study is a learning strategy with a number of high school
students. Students work independently at their own pace. Students who are
behind in credits have the opportunity to work at a faster pace to catch up
with their classmates. Students are expected to fulfill the same requirements
as they would in traditional school but have the opportunity to get individual
help when needed to enable the students to reach their diverse educational
goals.
Appropriate Placement
ORACLE may be an educational alternative for the following
students:
· Students
in grades 9 through 12 who live within the San Diego Unified School District boundaries.
· Students
who are self-motivated and who work well independently.
· Students
who are credit deficient.
· Students
who can attend school at least 3 times per week.
· Students
whose parents or guardians can monitor their progress at home.
Enrollment
Students who are currently
enrolled in school should speak to their counselor to determine if the ORACLE
Independent Study Program is an appropriate placement. Parent permission is
required. Students who are not currently enrolled in school need to obtain a
copy of their latest transcript and bring it to the ORACLE office for
evaluation.
