This program is an on-campus, in-person model

• ACCS uses small, interdisciplinary classes to teach the skills and knowledge required for high school graduation. Credit is awarded only for work that meets the appropriate state standard for the task. Students may work on the task until it meets the standard. 

• Class sizes of 24 or fewer students (average of 17) allows for greater teacher and peer support.

• Students are placed in courses that match their current levels in Reading, Writing, and Math.

• Most students graduate with a standard Oregon Diploma

  • Students may alternatively earn a Modified or Extended Diploma if the student and their support team determines that option is in the best interest of the student. 

Student schedules may be adjusted by a student’s support team based on individual needs,

most students attend in person on campus full days Tuesday-Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm 

*SPED students will meet for one period on Phoenix High School campus every Monday

that classes are regularly scheduled for Phoenix High School*
