School Overview

The **CPSD Open Doors Program**, operated by the Clover Park School District, is an alternative educational pathway designed specifically for students aged 16–21 who have dropped out of high school or are significantly behind in credits and at risk of not graduating. By partnering with local community colleges and technical schools, the program provides a flexible, individualized environment that allows students to earn their high school diploma or complete a GED while simultaneously gaining exposure to college-level coursework or vocational training.

The program focuses on removing the traditional barriers that lead to school disengagement by offering self-paced learning, credit retrieval opportunities, and personalized academic support. Located at the district’s instructional center in Lakewood, Washington, Open Doors serves as a "second chance" bridge, aiming to prepare students for post-secondary success, whether that involves transitioning directly into the workforce, enlisting in the military, or continuing their education in a collegiate setting.
