Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP)

All secondary students in Cherry Creek are required to develop their plan for graduation and beyond. The ICAP is developed beginning in Grade 6 and lays the critical foundation for individual course planning to ensure that your postsecondary goals are aligned with your chosen path. Your ICAP will follow you from middle to high school, up through Grade 12. ICAPS include:

• Career exploration, including interest surveys;
• Academic progress including courses taken, assessment results (PSAT, SAT, ACT Aspire, Pre-ACT);
• Experiences in contextual and service learning;
• College applications and résumé as they are prepared and submitted;
• Postsecondary studies as the student progresses, such as concurrent enrollment credits earned.
