Evening @ LÊP

Evening @ LÊP is a credit recovery program for students transferring in from other schools or for day school students who would be more successful in a self-paced environment. Students applying mid-trimester and too late to earn credit in the LEP Day School, will find Evening @ LÊP a great place to enroll to earn credits before transitioning to Day School. Students earn credit through an online program, as well as through credit by exam and small group learning activities.
