The other day I linked to this article on dual enrollment and briefly explained why I support dual enrollment programs. It turns out that there’s at least one blog entirely devoted to dual enrollment. The name — “Concrurrent Enrollment” — isn’t very catchy, but the content seems good (and that’s better than the other way around). High school students who are dually enrolled, or thinking about it, and their parents might find it worthwhile to check out. There’s quite a bit of controversy and/or politics involved and it’s often not as easy as it could be.
What does this mean, “dually-enrolled?” I’ve never heard this term.

It refers to high school students who are enrolled in college courses while still in high school. It’s often done through a partnership between a high school and a local college or university. The high school benefits because their dually-enrolled students get college credits, and it’s a chance for the college to recruit from the best and the brightest from the high school.
