Strategic Dual Enrollment
Dual Enrollment Bridge Programs
Transformation for students, schools and colleges to close access, equity, and achievement gaps.

Dual enrollment is an effective acceleration strategy for both high performing and underperforming students, resulting in benefits in high school and also well into college. Improved outcomes in high school include higher CAASPP Scores and College & Career Readiness rates; college outcomes include increased Course Pass Rates, College Persistence, and College Completion.
A strategic dual enrollment program transforms a high school by creating college-aligned academic programs through well-structured intersegmental communities of practice. The strategic alignment of the high school and college academic programs result in greater post-secondary pathways for students.
