The Career Readiness Education Academy (CREA) is an academic and career readiness program for older English language learners (ELLs) in MCPS. Students in CREA have the opportunity to prepare for the GED exam and earn industry certifications in their chosen field of study. Students are referred to CREA if they are at least 18 years old and unlikely to meet graduation requirements before turning 21 and/or if they are interested in pursuing an alternative pathway to a high school diploma via GED preparation. CREA offers both full-day and evening programs at Thomas Edison High School of Technology and Seneca Valley High School. The evening option is offered Monday through Thursday from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. and the day programs occur during regular school hours. In both programs, students study a career pathway and participate in an ESOL class, math class,
and GED preparation class. Students enroll at their home school, but attend all classes with the CREA program.
These courses are open only to ESOL students enrolled in the CREA program and admission must be determined by the CREA program specialist.
The courses are offered only at Seneca Valley High School and Thomas Edison High School of Technology. Additional information is at www.
