CityView Community High School to shift programming for 2025-26, add college-bearing courses and internship access
Summary
CityView Community High School will change its programming for the 2025-26 school year to expand college-bearing coursework through Kirkwood Community College, increase internships and project-based learning, and co-locate with Iowa Big at the Economic Alliance Building; the school will serve grades 10-12 and keep its current site.
CityView Community High School plans a programmatic shift for the 2025-26 school year that the district says will expand college-bearing coursework, internships and project-based learning while addressing operational challenges.
Key modifications outlined on the podcast include a requirement that CityView students take at least one college-bearing course through Kirkwood Community College, greater access to internships and community-embedded projects, and continued flexible scheduling so students can balance coursework with internships and projects. The district said CityView will share space with Iowa Big at the Economic Alliance Building to reduce costs and increase access to facilities and staff experience.
CityView will serve students in grades 10 through 12 beginning next school year and will remain at its current location at the Economic Alliance Building, the hosts said. The episode listed Dennis Becker as the CityView magnet coordinator and provided an email contact (dbecker@crschools.us) for families with questions; it did not specify enrollment limits or selection criteria.
The podcast said an informational meeting on Feb. 4 discussed the proposed changes and clarified the school's mission; it did not report a formal board vote or adoption of a new policy in the episode.
