College-Prep Graduation Plan

Many of our students go on to attend higher education after graduating from Independence Charter Academy which is why we developed the college-prep graduation plan. We have worked with the University of California and California State University to develop a curriculum that prepares our students for the challenging course load that they can expect at a university level.

Our college-prep pathway includes course requirements in major subject areas like math, science, social studies and English as well as special, college-oriented electives to challenge students to grow to their full potential. Students may also elect to take courses from our Career Technical Education pathway to gain valuable technical skills in a hands-on learning environment. Below is a list of graduation requirements for students interested in higher education.

Concurrent Enrollment Opportunities
We believe in providing students with the opportunity to take steps towards higher education at the rate in which they are ready to move. This is why we encourage students to apply and take college classes while enrolled at ICA. For students in the Helendale School District, concurrent enrollment opportunities are provided through our partnership with Victor Valley College and Barstow College. Bakersfield students may take classes at Bakersfield College & Cerro Cosa College. Enrollment is free for ICA students. Students may also attend any of the local community colleges online.
