Concurrent Enrollment

EAOP and DCAC are excited to bring back our Concurrent Enrollment program. This year, we partnering with Community Colleges around the Bay Area to offer our 10th and 11th-grade students the opportunity to enroll in the spring courses. This will allow our students to build a competitive college application profile. In addition to the course they are enrolled in, students will attend academic skill-building seminars as well as tutoring support to ensure successful completion of the program. Students will select from a list of transferable courses which will appear on official transcripts and help build their college applications by the time they are ready to apply.
