Program Introduction

COIC offers alternative high school education to allow students ages 14-21 to make up credits and return to their regular classrooms, or to earn a state high school diploma or GED. Students may also participate in Work-Education, a work-experience program that combines classroom credits with community service and natural resource projects.


Classes are held in Bend, La Pine, Madras, Redmond, Lakeview and Prineville in conjunction with the school districts of Bend-La Pine, Redmond, Crook County, Madras, Culver and Lakeview. COIC also provides instructors for Deschutes County Juvenile Community Justice.


In addition, COIC offers summer work experience, giving students the opportunity to earn minimum wages and learn valuable hands-on work skills.
During the 2006-2007 school year, 98 students earned high school diplomas, 131 earned GEDs and more than 1,884 half credits were awarded to students on behalf of their local high schools. Students spent more than 18,000 working on community service and natural resource projects.
