In addition to the classes held at the high school, there are also many offsite opportunities for students.
Offsite Programs
EFE/EFA
Education for Employment (EFE) and Education for the Arts (EFA) are programs for high school juniors and seniors in Kalamazoo County. Students are able to enroll in specialized courses at offsite locations as part of their school day. The EFE and EFA course booklets describe the courses and prerequisites offered. Please see your guidance counselor for more information.
ATYP
The Academically Talented Youth Program (ATYP) is for students in 7th-10th grade. Students attend advanced math or English classes at Western Michigan University once a week. See your counselor or click here for more information.
Dual Enrollment
Dual Enrollment is for high school juniors and seniors who wish to get college credit for classes taken at a local college. Classes must not be offered at Gull Lake, conflict with your academic schedule at Gull Lake, and must fit the requirements for graduation. Enroll at WMU. Enroll at KVCC. Enroll at KCC.
Co-Op
Co-op is the capstone experience for high school seniors (or sometimes second semester juniors) to work and earn money in a job related to an EFE class they have already taken. See EFE Book page 17
KAMSC
Kalamazoo Area Mathematics and Science Center (KAMSC): KAMSC is a county-wide magnet program for 9th-12th grade students. To be accepted, students must take an exam, write several essays, and have excellent grades and teacher recommendations, usually done during the winter of the student’s eighth grade year. Approximately 250 students apply each year and only 75 of the top students in the county are invited to come. The courses offered at KAMSC are all college-prep course and are very rigorous. Students attending KAMSC spend half the day at the old Kalamazoo Central High School and the other half of the day at Gull Lake. See your counselor or click here for more information. |
