Options Academy is a program for Des Moines Public Schools students who need a new path to their high school diploma. Options students earn their diploma by finishing their credit requirements through self-paced classes and/or HiSET exams.

In addition to a personalized teaching and learning plan for each student, Options Academy also provides students with career coaching and post secondary opportunities.

Host Amanda Lewis speaks with Options Academy Principal, Amanda Dvorak and CEO of Boys & Girls Club of Central Iowa, Tony Timm about this growing program.
