    The Chelsea Opportunity Academy (COA) is a place where students who have struggled to be successful in traditional schools will flourish. Through flexible scheduling, blended learning and individualized support, students will make progress towards earning a high school diploma. The school values students’ competing priorities outside of school and recognizes them as school credit-earning learning experiences. Students are active participants and have a voice in all aspects of school design, policy and operations. Students and staff form lasting relationships as they work together to build an effective and meaningful plan in preparation for college, career and life after high school.

Our Academic Focus and Approach

    • COA is a competency based school where students practice, revise and master a set of specific skills
      that will prepare them to succeed in their lives outside of school, college and career.
    • COA staff strive to form meaningful and deep relationships with all students in order to create a school
      culture that is caring, supportive and pushes students to accomplish their goals at beyond expectations.
