Jeffco's 21st Century Virtual Academy offers credit recovery classes for high school students. Credit Recovery Classes are designed to meet graduation requirements, and are ideal for students who are working towards a high school diploma. The courses available for credit recovery are only the core course graduation requirements within English, math, science, and history courses.

Credit Recovery classes are designed for students who were not successful in class the first time around. Students receive credit based on mastery of class subjects. Students participate in an initial assessment to determine their understanding of a subject. Based on the assessment, the teacher will assign only the parts of the course that the student still needs to complete. Credit recovery classes begin five times throughout the year:
| Term | Last Day to Apply | Start Date | End Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| September 2010 Term | August 31, 2010 | September 13, 2010 | February 11, 2011 |
| November 2010 Term | November 1, 2010 | November 15, 2010 | April 15, 2011 |
