The new school in Aurora will offer free tuition, daycare and career assistance for students.
Adults who didn't finish high school will have the chance to get their diploma for free at a new Goodwill Excel Center in Aurora .
So far, 89 people have"expressed interest" in the Excel Center through a survey, and seventeen have applied,. The school has rolling admissions, which means it has no application deadline. Students without high school transcripts will be able to test into the right level, he adds. For students who come in below a ninth-grade level, the school will offer remedial classes to get them to the high school level.
"Students have the flexibility to take one class if that's all they need," Sanchez says."If they need multiple classes that they can fit into their schedule, that's fine." The on-site daycare is open for up to 39 children between ages two and a half and twelve. The school can't take younger infants because fire safety standards require enough exits to roll cribs out.
While the school is considered a high school, Sanchez calls that"a bit of a misnomer, because if somebody comes in at a third-grade education level, we will meet them where they are at." Adults can come in at any level of education, he notes, but if they're further behind, they might need more than eighteen months to graduate.
Goodwill doesn't control local branches like the Goodwill of Colorado, which oversees local Goodwill donation centers and stores. There are more than 150 independent Goodwill nonprofits, operating more than 4,000 thrift stores across the U.S. and Canada.
