Great Oaks Institute of Technology and Career Development
CAREER PROGRAMS
Grades 11, 12 14 credits
Beginning with their junior year, Mariemont High School students are eligible to attend one of the career campuses of the Great Oaks Institute of Technology and Career Development. The curriculum on these campuses is an extension of that of the local high school. Most programs are offered for two consecutive years to juniors and seniors. Students who elect to attend Great Oaks are eligible to participate in all Mariemont High School athletics and extra-curricular activities. Great Oaks students graduate from Mariemont High School, participate in Mariemont High School’s graduation ceremony, and receive a Mariemont High School diploma. Oaks students are not required to complete the 40 hours of community service.
The course offerings are designed to develop the aptitude and skills of students for job entry into the world of work immediately after graduation. Because Great Oaks students also complete all Mariemont High School academic and graduation requirements, they are also prepared for college. There are also opportunities for Great Oaks students to earn college credit in each program. For eligibility to attend Great Oaks, it is recommended that a student should complete, at a minimum, the following courses in the high school in the ninth and tenth grades for a total of 8 credits:
English - 2 credits Mathematics - 2 credits Science - 1 credit World History - 1 credit Physical Education – ½ credit or complete two PE Waivers Health – ½ credit Visual/Performing Arts – 1 credit
A total of four of these credits must be earned to apply for admission. Students who are deficient in credits may still apply but will have to be evaluated separately for possible acceptance.
A few programs, mainly co-op programs, are offered only to seniors. Any students interested in attending one of the Great Oaks career campuses should consult with their counselor concerning programs available and requirements of those programs.
Juniors are required to take a course in math, English, American Government and a third science course. Seniors are required to take a fourth course in math (if still needed), American History and English. Great Oaks students need 21 credits for high school graduation.
Special evaluation and educational programming are provided at Great Oaks for students having special needs associated with their educational, mental, physical, and social development. No students are denied educational opportunities at Great Oaks if their needs, abilities, interests, and goals can be assessed, and an individually prescribed program can be developed that will provide the least restrictive educational opportunities with the best chance of success.
