Seattle Public Schools constantly works with students to give them the best start to their future. They offer tons of options to make your transition into college a breeze. College in the High School is just one of the many ways they have worked to make college more accessible to everyone. This dual enrollment program is going to give you the chance to rack up college credits as you continue to work toward your high school diploma. Say goodbye to useless electives and massive student loans. With College in the High School, you can make every second of your senior year count!

Getting started with College in the High School couldn’t be any simpler! While programs like Running Start are offered on college campuses, College in the High School will be taught right there on your own campus. If you attend a Seattle public high school, your campus should have teachers who are qualified to teach their courses. You can work with your counselor to determine eligibility and get enrolled. Then, once you start one of their classes, your college transcript will be created. Following your graduation, you will be responsible for transferring your credits to the college or university of your choice. They will count just like regular college credits, giving you a kickstart to your associate’s or bachelor’s.

While dual enrollment classes might cost in other places, College in the High School is a tax-funded program that is available at no extra cost. Not only will it let you earn credits toward your degree, but it will also prepare you mentally. These classes will be graded like a college class, requiring the same standards you’ll find once you graduate. Yes, it can be a lot, but once you move on, you are going to feel prepared for anything college throws your way!
If you are looking for the best way to get started toward your college degree, College in the High School is your perfect option! This innovative program will help you earn college credits without ever leaving your school campus!
