High School
The Cottonwood School offers two options for high school students: a Homestudy Pathway and a Hybrid High School Pathway. Our high school department helps HSTs and their students keep on track for graduation and prepare for a future after they leave school.
Teen Leadership Committee
Who We Are
As student leaders, we are committed to establishing a strong teen community at The
Cottonwood School by assisting in planning events that create an encouraging and
welcoming environment for teens to connect and thrive together.
Why TLC
Students are excited to join the Teen Leadership Committee (TLC) because they want to
grow in leadership while developing events that serve their peer community. Participation in
the TLC offers students the opportunity to learn life-long leadership skills, conflict
resolution, opportunities to build on strengths, and develop areas of personal growth. TLC
members use their unique talents, within a team setting, to build and maintain a thriving
teen community at The Cottonwood School.

CVHS Virtual High School Program
Cottonwood Virtual High School (CVHS) offers live, virtual instruction or self-paced classes in A-G courses for high school students. CVHS teachers provide high-level instruction, support, and accountability through virtual classes, extended learning time (ELT), and teacher office hours, and community building is encouraged through live virtual classes, field trips, and events. The goal of CVHS is for high school students to develop their own sense of agency, build a growth mindset, and take ownership of learning, preparing them for success beyond high school.
CTE (Career Technical Education)
Our CTE program program for high schoolers integrates core academic knowledge with technical and occupational knowledge. While CTE is career-focused education preparing students for the world of work, completion of a pathway helps prepare students for college and is a valuable addition to one’s application. Upon successful completion of a CTE Pathway, students will receive a certificate.
Cottonwood College Prep Academy
The Cottonwood College Prep Academy (CCPA) is a Montessori-inspired high school offering a hybrid educational program that provides students the experience of learning in a classroom setting while also offering the personalization provided by online learning. Students will take the Concentration’s Course of Study in a classroom setting on the high school campus while taking the other courses using an online platform, all with the support of the school’s teachers and staff.
