What is Independent Study?

  • Our Independent Study school is a University of California a-g approved program for high school students. It is designed to meet the same requirements as a traditional comprehensive high school. 
  • Students must transfer from their current high school to attend CIS full time. Most students graduate from CIS.
  • Students meet with a CIS teacher at least one (1) hour per week to review assignments, progress, assess skills, and develop a graduation plan. Full time students must take a minimum of four (4) classes to be considered a full time CIS student. 
  • CIS students have the option to enroll in classes at their traditional high school for daily instruction concurrently, if it is necessary.
  • CIS students have the option to attend classes at Diablo Valley College while they attend CIS. Students may take one or two classes concurrently with Diablo Valley College to earn both high school and college credits. Students work with CIS teachers to choose courses. 
  • Horizons also offers classes for students who would like more support. There are classes offered in math, science, and art. This support is available all school year and students will meet with their assigned CIS teacher to review their progress and schedule.
  • CIS students are able to play sports, join clubs and attend field trips and after school activities at their comprehensive high schools as long as they remain in good standing at CIS.
