Dual Enrollment
We offer PVSchools high school students the opportunity to get ahead in their academic journey through our Dual Enrollment program. This program allows students to earn high school and college credits, putting them on the fast track to their future.
In fact, some students even earn an associate's degree by the time they graduate high school. This not only saves time but also saves money on tuition and textbooks.
Our dual enrollment courses are available through Rio Salado College in Tempe, and through Paradise Valley Community College. More than 40 universities recognize this pathway to entry, ensuring a smooth transition into higher education.
To learn more about this incredible opportunity, we invite you to explore the offerings at our high schools.
