Dual Enrollment/Early College Credit

Supporting Early Access to College Credit

The Get Focused, Stay Focused career class is California’s only A-G approved career class that also provides the opportunity for dual enrollment or early college credit. Thousands of high school students taking this class annually receive their first ever college credit in 9th grade, launching their identities as college students––an extremely important step for first generation students whose parents never attended college.

The benefit of offering this class to high school freshman students also means that they have time to consider and choose other early college credit opportunities that they will have access to during high school, allowing them to complete many college credits at no cost before they graduate.

The Get Focused, Stay Focused nonprofit facilitates discussions between schools and their local community college to assess the possibility of college credit for the class, either through dual enrollment or high school articulation. If your students will be taking the career class, and you would like them to receive college credit for it, please get in touch!
