Grade: 11, 12

Course Credit: 3  Elective Credits per year

Prerequisite: Varies by measure

Description:

Juniors and seniors may enroll in the STL CAPS program on a half-day basis. It provides high school students the opportunity to fast-forward beyond college to test-drive their future in high-skill, high demand careers. Students may apply for acceptance to a morning or afternoon session that specializes in a specific career skill. On a daily basis, students have the unique opportunity to learn outside the walls of a traditional high school since each course is hosted by business partners in professional workplaces such as medical centers, research labs, small business co-working incubators, and higher education facilities. The core curricular subjects are taken at Kirkwood High School for the balance of the day. The credit earned through the STL CAPS program will be entered in the Kirkwood transcript under the St. Louis Centers for Advanced Professional Studies.
