Our Program
We offer a comprehensive set of college-preparatory courses covering all the required subjects in math, science, language arts, social studies, visual and performing arts, and P.E. We also offer many electives such as Graphic Design, Career Education, Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens, Psychology, Sociology, etc. Our interactive interface allows students to navigate through the course material and activities with ease, while providing a rigorous program. Daily activities include a variety of different exercises including videos, reading assignments, simulations, games that help you review concepts and vocabulary, quizzes, daily classroom discussions, and weekly projects.
CHYBA's design and curriculum delivery provides opportunities that most students would not be able to experience at a traditional school. Courses are available at any time of day or night. Students can access our innovative curriculum in a consistent, highly interactive format, and they receive daily personalized attention from our CA certificated, highly qualified teachers. Students actively participate in their classes and let their voices be heard in discussion boards and in class blogs as well as face-to-face with our instructors. In addition, CHYBA offers a positive, supportive learning environment that focuses on the real world skills necessary to succeed beyond high school.
Course Catalogs
Edgenuity California Course list
California Heritage YouthBuild Academy offers initial credit, credit recovery, and test prep such as HISET and GED courses. We also utilize Edgenuity MyPath as a supplemental program designed to meet students where they are in reading and math—and give them exactly what they need to catch up, keep up, and get ahead. Edgenuity MyPath provides students with age-appropriate, online instruction and gives educators the ability to monitor academic progress easily. While the program is designed for middle and high school students, it covers skills and concepts as low as the third-grade level.
STANDARDIZED TESTING
The Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments are part of California’s state testing program called the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). The summative assessments are an annual measure of what students know and can do using the Common Core State Standards for English language arts/literacy and mathematics.
The California Science Test (CAST) is part of California’s state testing program called the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). The CAST measures what students know and can do using the California Next Generation Science Standards (CA NGSS), which focus on understanding the concepts across such scientific areas as life science, earth and space science, and physical science. These standards use disciplinary core ideas, science and engineering practices, and cross-cutting concepts to help students understand how science works in the natural world.
