Tuition is paid by Littleton Public Schools if the student receives a C grade or better. Concurrent enrollment allows high school students to take courses that can count toward college credit, certification credit AND graduation required credits in LPS, through the same course.
Concurrent enrollment is currently available for qualified students at all LPS high schools. Learn more.
What are industry certifications?
An industry certification is a credential recognized by business and industry at the local, state or national level. It could be an assessment, an examination or a license that is administered and recognized by an industry third-party or governing board. Industry certificates measure competency in an occupation, and they validate the knowledge base and skills that show mastery in a particular industry. Districts determine which certifications to authorize for students. Students at the Explorative Pathways for Innovative Careers Campus will have the opportunity to earn numerous certifications related to various pathways.
What is work-based learning?
Work-based learning experiences are conducted at a work site during or after school. They are designed to provide authentic learning experiences to students that link academic, technical and professional skills. Business and education partners work together to evaluate and supervise the experience, which must be documented with learning agreements.
Examples of work based learning experiences can include; Job Shadowing, Career Mentorship, Career Related Competitions, Informational Interviews, Internships, Service Learning, Student-led Enterprises, Simulated Workplace Experience, Volunteering, Workplace Tours/Field Trips, Pre-apprenticeships
Why did high school schedules change this year?
Beginning with the 2021-2022 school year, Arapahoe, Heritage, Littleton and Options high schools adopted similar schedules using the block schedule. Moving all high schools to a similar schedule is an important step to ensure that all high school students will have the ability to enroll in and attend classes at the Explorative Pathways for Innovative Careers Campus for a portion of their day when it opens for students in the fall of 2023. It would be impossible for students from all four high schools to attend classes together at the Explorative Pathways for Innovative Careers Campus without a common schedule.
Will there be transportation from my high school to the EPIC Campus and back again?
Yes. LPS transportation will be provided to and from the home high school.
