Peevy, TFS president and head of school.

In what has been coined, “The Partnership between the Falls,” Tallulah Falls School and Toccoa Falls College have signed a Memorandum of Agreement for dual-enrolled courses between the two institutions. 

“I am pleased to be partnering with Toccoa Falls College as TFS expands its on-campus, college level courses,” said TFS President and Head of School Larry A. Peevy.

“Dual-enrolled” means certain high school courses demonstrate the strategic rigor to count for college courses of the same topic, so students at TFS receive both high school and college credit in one class. The select TFS faculty members are approved as TFC adjunct faculty and the students are both TFS and TFC students at the same time for these select courses. Additionally, TFC will be providing its own faculty members to teach classes on the TFS campus. The result is these college-preparatory high school students are even more prepared for college. This fall semester, courses in Latin and History have already been approved, with courses in Spanish and Art being prepared for dual-enrollment. 

“We are thrilled to be partnering with such a growing and reputable institution who is our neighbor,” said TFC President Robert Myers.
