Dual Enrollment

Dual Enrollment is a college acceleration program available to TFS Upper School students. Through Dual Enrollment, students have the opportunity to take college courses to earn credit for both high school and college. With 23 college-level courses offered on campus, TFS students have a unique advantage in preparation for the next stage of education.

Benefits of Dual Enrollment

TFS alumni indicate DE courses have resulted in cost savings, prepared them for the rigors of college, the ability to graduate college early, add a dual major/minor, or begin graduate work.

DE classes are a great opportunity for students to become acquainted with college-level work.

Unlike AP courses, which require a specific score on an examination at the end of the course, DE classes with passing grades earn high school and college credits.*

Cost savings – DE students taking two to three college courses each semester during their junior and senior years graduate from high school with 24-30 college credits.

*It is a best practice to check with target colleges and universities regarding credit or advanced placement for AP, DE, or IB courses. Policies vary on credit for coursework completed during secondary school.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT

Tallulah Falls offers several AP courses, with some in-person and others virtually. Students are eligible to take up to three AP courses if they have an overall GPA of 3.75 or higher, a 4.0 GPA in the specific subject area, and a recommended PSAT score of 1000 or higher.
