The Independent Study Program (ISP) is part of Multiple Pathways, an alternative education program offered at Omaha Public Schools.   

ISP provides an opportunity for students who are disengaged or at risk of becoming disengaged from their traditional high school programs, to complete high school graduation requirements. 

ISP follows the same standards-based curriculum found in all Omaha Public Schools, facilitated by certified teachers.

Typical students served are ages 17-21 and were unable to complete the 49 required credits for graduation within 4 years with their cohort.  

Recovery class options are available in the core subject areas of English, Social Studies, Math & Science.

Classes are offered in an intensive course format with teacher-led classes being taught in 20-day "terms" with 8 terms offered throughout the school year.

Because this is a fast-paced program, daily attendance is required to earn credits. ISP Term Dates
