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

  • 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
  • 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
