Students ages 16-22, and those with special needs up to age 25, can earn a high school diploma at one of the three Covenant House Academies. Our tuition-free school gets students on track and prepares them for life beyond high school.

Our schools provide a Quality Education.

We know how important quality education is and we have chosen the best model for our student population. Education 2020 is a leader in computer-based K-12 education service for alternative schools. The online curriculum is aligned with the Michigan Department of Education’s requirements and guidelines for obtaining a high school diploma. Classes include social arts, math, electives, social studies and language arts. Each lesson includes video instruction from a highly qualified teacher as well as traditional classroom instruction. Teachers, paraprofessionals and intervention specialists teach and guide students through challenging material. Students receive a quality education with this cutting edge technology that will also enable them to move through the courses quickly.

Credit Recovery Available

Earn as many credits as you need! Each student picks up where they left off in high school and works towards their high school diploma. Many students regain their credits and return to their high school and graduate with their class.

Year Round Class Schedules and Enrollment

Classes are offered year-round. Students can choose to attend morning or afternoon sessions to make room for work or family obligations. Those eager to graduate sooner can attend both sessions.

Students create professional email accounts, learn how to search for a job, send emails and applications electronically, create resumes, highlight references, write cover letters and thank you letters, attend mock interviews and apply for work permits. See a list of the companies who have partnered with us to provide job resources for our students.
