CVEP was created to help students caught in distressing EXIT EXAM situations. The EXIT EXAMS are negatively impacting many of our young people in public school systems throughout the United States.
Many seniors pass all their high school courses… and yet … they are being denied a High School Diploma! Many states require that public school students pass an EXIT EXAM in addition to successfully completing all their classes. This extra test – not required of private school students - discriminates against public school students who have earned all of the credits necessary for graduation. They earned passing grades, they served their attendance requirements … they did everything that was required of them. But, they could not pass that one high-stakes exit exam. The political decisions of their state made these students, who passed ALL their courses, into failures – DIPLOMAS DENIED. Each year more than 10 per cent of the high school seniors get caught in this EXIT EXAM quagmire. We at The Oaks Private School believe that the daily work completed in the classroom, evaluated and graded by a teacher, is a truer picture of what each student has learned than an EXIT EXAM. If a student passes the course exams and the teacher awards a passing grade and credit for course work – that should be enough! But many public school students are caught in the grip of laws that demand more. Most states do not require any private school to administer an exit exam to their students. It is completely legal for private schools to award diplomas without the requirement that a student pass an exit exam. Because of this ‘no exit exam option’, The Oaks Private School has decided to assist people who have been denied their diplomas because of an EXIT EXAM, by developing the Credits Verification and Evaluation Program (CVEP). Under the CVEP - if a student did the work – the student gets a diploma! It’s just that simple. The Oaks Private School is an accredited private school registered and recognized by the Florida Department of Education. Our school number is 5122.
