Welcome
The High School Extension Program (HSEP) serves between 60 - 100 students. It is part of the Cambridge Public School District and is located at 15 Upton Street. Modeled on other successful, non-traditional high school programs in the nation, this program allows students to learn in an alternative setting, and for many, to participate in CRLS after school and club activities.
Mission
The mission of the High School Extension Program is to provide a rigorous academic program designed to advance the achievement of all students especially in the areas of reading, writing, and mathematics within a small school environment. Rooted in the community values of trust, honesty, kindness, loyalty, faith, citizenship, courage, integrity, respect and pride, the school is dedicated to developing habits of mind that lead to college or the world of work, upon graduation.
Philosophy
HSEP believes all students can achieve excellence in a positive, challenging educational environment that stimulates their interests, channels their energies, and develops their abilities. HSEP is committed to providing a nontraditional learning environment for students with distinct needs for these educational services.
HSEP is committed to ensuring opportunities for all students to increase skills in both academic and employment environments. HSEP concentrates on increasing students’ academic and career/life skills by offering opportunities not only to earn a high school diploma with credits equal to the same levels of difficulty and standards offered in CRLS, but also to receive personalized career counseling for school-to-college and school-to-work transitions
