OASIS PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Oasis High School is accredited through the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and has been named a MODEL CONTINUATION SCHOOL by the State of California.

Oasis High School is a necessary small high school established to help students succeed in a smaller classroom environment. A student is able to progress at his/her own pace working either in small groups or individually under teacher supervision. Students may accelerate by taking on extra assignments and projects. Credits are earned when the student completes assigned projects, and/or receives a passing grade on tests. Classes meet for an hour.

Students who choose to stay at Oasis may accelerate their work pace and graduate early, or graduate with their class year. The diploma is issued through Oasis High School. Students who want to participate in the Kingsburg High School ceremonies must be accepted and enrolled in the final semester of their senior year at Kingsburg High School.

Students can also choose to take the California High school Proficiency Exam (CHSPE), which is given twice a year. If the student passes the CHSPE, he/she may be released from school with parents’ permission and he/she may continue on to college.
