Falling behind on credits doesn’t mean falling behind on your future. At Options For Youth (OFY), our Credit Recovery and Enrichment program helps students make up missed classes, stay on track, and even get ahead—any time of the year.

Whether you need to recover credits to graduate, improve a grade, or explore new subjects, OFY gives you the flexibility and support to learn at your own pace.

What Is Credit Recovery?

Credit Recovery is designed for students who need to retake or complete high school courses to meet graduation requirements. According to the Institute of Education Science, "Credit recovery programs allow high-school students to recover course credit for classes they previously failed. Through in-school, online, or mixed modes, students can earn course credits to complete their diplomas or to avoid falling further behind in school."

In short, it’s a flexible, supportive way to earn back credits without waiting for the next semester or school season. Students can also take advantage of this model to move ahead in their studies and reach future goals faster.

What Is Credit Enrichment?

Credit Enrichment is a feature that allows students to get ahead in their high school courses or explore new subjects beyond their regular classes. Students can take extra classes to strengthen skills, improve their GPA, or prepare for college and career goals.
