Earn College Credit while in High School !
CTE Boulder's coursework is coordinated with the Colorado
Community College System's coursework. This crosswalk provides the opportunity
for students to receive free community college credit for successful completion
of a CTE program. Most CTE programs have a number of community college classes
which can be transferred to a transcript without charge by the agreeing
community college once a student certifies in the program and enrolls in a
particular community college and transcripts one class. Students must complete
the certification requirements within a program to transfer credits to the
community college.

CTE Boulder provides an opportunity for students to receive a technical certificate for the successful completion of a program area. Certificates are controlled and monitored by the Colorado Community College Systems, have the minimum requirements of a C or above on the transcripts for each term, full credit for each term, and completion of all required competencies.

The Arapahoe Campus is currently undergoing a visioning process that promises to be an even more extraordinary option for students in the Boulder Valley School District. The campus high school has earned the reputation of being a high quality alternative to the large comprehensive high school system. In addition, the technical offerings, which are available to all students that concurrently attend home high schools offers a rigorous hands-on approach to learning while earning a certificate that, may articulate with colleges while preparing students as they launch a career. Students can receive 30 credits at Colorado Community Colleges by earning a two year certificate.
When choosing to attend Arapahoe Campus High School the combination of academics and technical courses often motivates students who are not interested in the traditional academic approach and/or have a gift or interest in a technical area. These unique instructional options and services are effectively implemented by a high quality, dedicated staff that truly cares about each and every student on campus. As a result, we are able to provide a high quality, personalized education for our students.
Sincerely,
Joan Bludorn, Ed. M.A., CTE Director
