The America’s Choice solutions have been built on international research and designed specifically to help students that have strived to meet standard. They cover all assessed subjects: reading, writing and mathematics and they meet all the demands the state has set for Intensive Instruction and Services Funding.

The AC CAHSEE solutions have been built to target the specific needs of students and schools. Schools can select the individual solutions that best meet their areas of greatest need or choose the comprehensive program to help across the entire span of subjects. All solutions can be implemented at the beginning of the school year, in the spring semester or summer school; during the school day or beyond-the-bells.

These flexible and powerful programs can help your students do more than succeed on CAHSEE. They are designed to lead to substantive improvement in learning and true long-term student success in high school and beyond.
