Admission and Enrollment - Walnutwood High School

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Walnutwood High School (WHS) is an independent study program designed for students who desire an alternative to traditional classroom instruction as a way in which to earn their high school diploma. WHS is a Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) accredited school that assists student learning at home using state-adopted curriculum with the support, guidance, and supervision of credentialed teachers.

In our program, students work independently according to a written contract (ISA) under the general supervision of their instructor. While students follow the district-adopted curriculum and meet the district graduation requirements, the program allows for flexibility to meet their individual needs, interests, and styles of learning.

A student must have sufficient maturity and self-direction to maintain a study schedule of at least 20-25 hours per week. WHS students dedicate themselves to the hard work and discipline it takes to be independent and self-directed learners.
