[quote=Anonymous]I am only aware of certificate and diploma programs in the same school when a school serves students with significant disabilities.  Public schools offer certificates for kids whose disabilities mean that they won't be able to master the same curriculum as their peers, and I am aware of a few private schools that serve a diverse group of learners and have both options.  Usually the certificate/diploma decision is made by a team that includes parents at admissions (for HS only programs) or early in a child's high school career.

Some schools that I know of that offer both diplomas and certificates, there may be many more:

Special Ed schools

Ivymount

Harbour

Phillips

Private "general education" schools that include students with intellectual disabilities

Sulam (a program for kids with disabilities who are included in Orthodox Jewish schools in the area, they serve mostly diploma track kids but have a small section for certificate track kids)

The Options programs (Catholic school programs for kids with Intellectual Disabilities) at Paul VI, Holy Cross, and Pope John Paul the Great[/quote]
