Many students aren’t prepared for college-level courses but now they can get ready for them and earn college credit too.

“Concurrent enrollment has been growing in a lot of high schools all over. It’s another way to give kids in high school the opportunity to earn college credit.” Michael Ady, our school’s AP coordinator said. “So essentially, because these courses are run through local community colleges our students get to take a college-level course while still in high school,” Ady said.

College courses cost a lot of money, but with the concurrent enrollment courses, students are able to save money for college.

“I think the students really appreciate the opportunity to take college classes in high school because if they take it in high school it’s free,” Daren Villeneuve said.

The courses help students financially and give them credit, but they also might help their mood.

“Students seem a lot happier when they’re in this class.” Autumn Taylor said.

Concurrent enrollment courses help and challenge students. Let’s go into the courses provided:
