American Dual Diploma

The Dual Diploma program prepares students for the U.S. university classroom experience. Students develop the knowledge and skills required to succeed in a U.S. university and the global job market. Graduates earn both a U.S. high school diploma and their local high school diploma.Learn more >

Early University

Our Early University program enables academically advanced 11th and 12th-grade students to take courses from one of our university dual credit partners. Participants can earn university credit while in high school, shorten the amount of time and money needed to earn their university degree, and stand out from their peers in the university admissions process.

University Counseling

The University Counseling program is offered to all Dual Diploma students. The program is designed to further prepare students for university and supports earned admissions into one of our 15 partner universities. Students meet with a guidance counselor throughout the program and attend seminars that guide them through the U.S. admissions process and what to expect when studying at a U.S. university.
