Special Programs & Services

A comprehensive adult learning program through CEA offers citizens of all ages an opportunity to set and achieve additional educational goals. Areas of study may include: high school diploma, GED preparation and testing, basic skills training, or any of a host of educational experiences available in a community school environment.

In special cases the CEA Director may assist students who have been assigned community service by the juvenile court or by CEA staff. A decision to assist will be decided on a case-by-case basis.

In compliance with Arizona State Board rules (Rule R7-2-302, Section 2), a student has a right to receive credit and a grade if he/she demonstrates mastery through a competency option (testing out). District guidelines apply.

This is a state sanctioned program allowing students to receive credit for academic learning and work place experiences. Fifteen (15) hours of work per week and an employer’s willingness to participate qualify a student to enroll in the course of study. Students may earn as much as four (4) credits in a nine-month program.

Home study and correspondence classes are available for most courses.

Through NovaNET interactive electronic curriculum, CEA can provide learning opportunities to students on the Internet. Upon request the Director will determine if student’s course of study and Academy’s technology are compatible. In special cases laptop computer are available for "take-home" service.
