Canton Harbor High School's mission is to advance under-served youth through education, job training, personal development, leadership development and community Service.

Through rigorous academics, community partnerships, and a safe learning environment students will leave Canton Harbor High School as college ready, career ready, and productive members of society.

We BELIEVE:

-Acceptance-

    Each student comes with a different story

    Fostering an environment of understanding and respect

-Guidance-

    Each student is unique and must be provided with opportunities to meet their needs

    Providing additional support for life beyond the classroom

-Growth-

    Challenging our students to grow academically and personally

    Preparing students to be confident in taking the next step in life

How the Program Works:

  • State standards (skills required by the state) are broken down into competencies (topics) for each subject.
  • Focuses on the common core requirements: Math (4 credits) , Social Studies (3 credits), Language Arts (4 credits), Science (3 Credits) and CBI. The same skills and curriculum are being taught, just in a shorter time frame!
  • You can enter with zero credits and earn all graduation requirements within 3 years! (This is based upon good attendance and hard work). However, we do accept credits earned from previous schools so your work will not go unaccounted for!
  • In some classes, each half of a year (semester) is equal to 1 full credit at other schools. This varies depending on subject.
  • Your Graduation Plans will list the competency/skill required for each class and your progress towards completing them. Completion of all the competencies equals graduation!
  • Canton Harbor High School  is a proud participant in the Child Find Program which helps identify, locate, and provide special services for students who may be in need.

We specialize in working with under privileged students to give them the chance that they need to achieve a successful future! Schedule an enrollment appointment today!

Information Forms Testimonials

Parents and/or guardians can set up an appointment with Mr. Kaufman to talk about our program in more detail and/or enroll.

Upon arrival, they should have with them the following: child's birth certificate, child's social security card, and one form of proof of residency, i.e. apartment/rental lease statement, mortgage statement, bank statement, electric bill, gas bill, cable/satellite bill.

The enrollment process usually takes about 30 minutes. Credits from previous schools do transfer. Please make sure all fees are paid at former school in order for us to obtain official transcripts. Transcripts usually take about a week to get to us. Once we have the transcripts, we will put an individual plan together for the child.
