FAQs

Legacy Campus is designed for motivated students with a genuine interest in a specific career pathway and who are ready to engage in rigorous, college-level coursework. Students have the opportunity to earn valuable college credits and industry-recognized certifications while gaining hands-on experience in their chosen field. 

Through partnerships with colleges, universities and industry leaders, Legacy Campus prepares students for success in high-demand careers, apprenticeships, military service, trade schools and two-or four-year college programs. These pathways are ideal for students who are committed to exploring their passion, developing professional skills and taking meaningful steps toward their postsecondary goals.

Courses are open to all 11th and 12th-grade DCSD students, unless indicated by courses (i.e., CNA and EMT pathways are only open to 12th-grade students). This includes students at DCSD neighborhood and alternative high schools and Cloverleaf Enrichment School. Students who attend private schools, charter schools or schools outside of DCSD (homeschool) may also apply after a service agreement contract is in place with DCSD, if spots are available.

Students should be in good academic standing and on track to graduate by accumulating the necessary high school credits. Pathway selection should reflect a student's current career goals and strengths. Career and interest inventories, such as those available in Naviance, can be used to help guide students.

No. Legacy Campus is open to high school students across the district on a part-time basis. Students will maintain a primary line of enrollment and the majority of their classes at their primary high school.

Because students who take classes at Legacy Campus only take one to two classes per semester and still take the majority of their classes at their primary high school, it is necessary that students work closely with their primary high school counselor to request courses and ensure they are on track for graduation.

Many pathways require a "double-blocked" class for students to complete the required instructional minutes. Because of this, students will see some classes that require back-to-back or combined class periods. Pathway applications will ask students to make their first choice for AM or PM courses or fall or spring courses, but we cannot always adjust when classes are offered. Friday classes are typically held remotely/virtually. Class attendance is critical as many courses are lab-based and cannot be recreated.

Students who attend private schools, charter schools or are outside of DCSD (including homeschool) may also apply after a service agreement contract is in place with DCSD, if spots are available. For additional questions on choice enrollment, visit the DCSD Choice Programming webpage or call Julie Naab, Administrative Assistant, Choice Programming at 303-387-9746.

Yes. Most classes at Legacy are “double-blocked,” meaning they combine two block period classes into one. All classes follow the DCSD-compatible block schedule and align with the DCSD high school calendar (see website calendars for slight variations). Students will attend in-person classes at the Legacy Campus two days a week (either Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday). On Fridays, all Legacy classes are virtual and asynchronous, so students complete their work online. 

The CNA pathway is completed in one semester and is offered in both fall and spring semesters. EMT is completed in two semesters (one school year).  All other pathways offer one and two-year options. All align with the DCSD high school calendars. See the course guide for more details.

Most pathways begin in the fall, but some classes may have openings in the spring. Registration occurs in January of the year prior, and late requests may be placed on a waitlist. See the complete course guide and application for registration information.

Students may provide their own transportation (i.e. have a parent drive them or drive themselves). DCSD also provides student transportation from their primary high schools to the Legacy Campus. Buses/vans run routes to and from primary high schools before school, midday and after school. There is currently no fee for DCSD-provided transportation and no parking fee if students drive themselves. More information on transportation schedules and parking is below.

Most students will take one to two classes at Legacy Campus and take the majority of their classes at their primary high school. Students must work closely with their primary high school counselor to request courses and ensure they are on track for graduation. Pathway selection should reflect a student’s career goals and strengths. Career and interest inventories, such as those found on Naviance, can be used to help guide students.

All 13 career pathways offer industry certifications and college credit options. Learn more on each pathway's webpage.

Some concurrent enrollment or dual enrollment classes do have prerequisites, but not all. Others may require a background check and registration for clinical experiences. Find specific information on each Pathway webpage or in the course guide.

Classes at Legacy Campus are free to DCSD students, but some courses have fees to cover the cost of supplies/materials and college credit. In addition, work/textbooks and uniforms may be required. College credit is available for a reduced tuition rate or no cost (varies by pathway). Learn more information on each specific Pathway webpage.
