Students of Craven County Schools have a variety of paths to success and graduation. Craven Evening Education Centers are one path students may travel along as they complete their high school experience. Through this program students are provided several different options in assisting them in reaching their goal of obtaining a high school diploma. New Bern, Havelock, and West Craven High Schools each offer Evening Education programs that serve various purposes and types of students. Motivated students may wish to get ahead or graduate early by taking additional credits on top of what they are taking during the regular school day. Struggling students who have failed a class have the opportunity to recover credits they have lost during previous semesters. Older students who have gotten behind in credits may add Evening Education Center classes to get back on track and graduate with their peers. The program also provides an alternative setting for students who are not successful in a traditional school setting.
The Evening Centers operate as a school under the umbrella of a base school. The goal of the program is to decrease the high school dropout rate and increase the 4 year cohort graduation rate. This program has been extremely successful in doing both. Our Evening Education Centers use highly qualified teachers in small classroom settings to provide both traditional learning experiences as well as a computer based curriculum through Odyssey Ware Smarter Online Learning. Students are able to recover up to four credits a semester, or obtain up to two new fresh credits toward graduation each semester.
The Evening Centers operate Monday thru Thursday from 2:45 pm to 6:45 pm. If you are interested and would like to learn more about this program, please contact the director of the program at one of the high schools.
