College and Career Readiness
Intensive Pathways Intensive Pathways engage students who are off-track to graduate, or at high risk of becoming off-track, into an educational setting that leads to graduation or a GED. Students must apply to attend an Intensive Pathway school. Listed below are the Intensive Pathway school options and information about credit recovery. • Credit Recovery Credit recovery offers students the option to earn credit for classes they did not successfully complete. DPS offers credit recovery in all DPS-managed high schools as an online program. • Intensive Pathway Schools (IPS) Intensive Pathway Schools offer credit recovery, wrap-around services, community services, college and career counseling, and internship opportunities. IPS focuses on a specific population of students that includes pregnant students, teen parents, students with significant behavior needs, and students with significant social-emotional needs. • Multiple Pathway Center (MPC) The Multiple Pathway Center serves students in grades 6-12 who are off-track to graduate and are up to two years behind on credits. The MPC grants diplomas and offers intensive academic, affective and behavioral supports to students. The MPC also offers credit recovery, wrap-around services, community services, college and career counseling, and internship opportunities. • Engagement Center (EC) The Engagement Center identifies students who have dropped out or are off-track to graduate and engages these students in the program through a comprehensive intake process, providing an accelerated course of study. This program is best for students who are ages 16, 17, 18, 19 or 20 and are within 100 credits of graduating. The EC offers credit recovery, wrap-around services, community services, college and career counseling, and internship opportunities. • Intensive Pathway Charters Intensive Pathway Charters offer a wide range of academic and affective supports for students who are at high risk of dropping out of school. Each charter has its own mission, specialty services and programming for students. All Intensive Pathway Charters engage students in a post-secondary readiness educational pathway that leads to graduation.
