High School Credit Flexibility Program

Note – This provision is NOT available for core academic courses. This provision is currently limited to Physical Education and Health courses.

Students can earn high school credit in limited non-core academic classes via the Credit Flex Program based upon the following criteria as set by the DEW:
  • Completing coursework at MCS, another school, online class, home school, summer school
  • Testing out of or demonstrating mastery of course content
  • Pursuing one or more “educational options” (e.g., distance learning, educational travel, independent study, an internship, music, arts, after-school/tutorial program, community service or other engagement projects).
Credits earned through this alternative means will be reflected on the student’s high school transcripts, like any other class. Any grades submitted through this credit flexibility plan will be entered on the student’s transcript according to the MCS grading scale.

An MCS Credit Flex Pre-approval form must be completed, submitted and approved by the High School Principal before the student may begin the Credit Flex Program.
