Escondido Charter High School

"Education Is Our Business"

Traditional Classroom Program (TCP)

The Traditional Classroom Program (TCP) provides classroom-based instruction with an average class size of 18 students. The classes are primarily at the College Preparatory, Honors, and Advanced Placement levels and are designed to prepare students to enter a four-year university upon graduation. Classes are held five days a week, six periods per day, with two semesters each year. Student government (ASB), honor associations, clubs, social events, and sports are also a part of student life.

Graduation Requirements

Escondido Charter High School offers three diploma plans for students to meet graduation requirements. The choice of the diploma plan depends on the post graduation needs of the student and the academic program in which he or she is enrolled. The diploma plans are summarized below. Parents and students are encouraged to consult the Student Services Manager if they have questions or require guidance concerning selection of the correct academic plan.

In addition to the diploma requirements, starting with the class of 2006, all students must pass the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) to receive a diploma.

Advanced Academic Diploma (260 Credits): This diploma plan is designed for students who are planning to attend the University of California system or other highly competitive schools. All students entering this program must be prepared to take college preparatory courses in English, science, mathematics, and first year foreign language as a freshman.
