News Middle College High School at the El Dorado Center FAQs & Info Session Sign Ups Happy New Year! As we settle into 2024, it is time to begin thinking about the 2024-2025 school year, beginning in August. We have a number of exciting announcements and changes that are happening beginning in the next school year. Below are some of the many questions you may have as we begin looking forward. You will also see a link to sign up to attend an information session for next year at the end of the FAQ Middle College High School at the El Dorado Center FAQs New Year, New Name, New Location! As of 2024-25, Charter University Prep and Connections Academy will be a Middle College High School! We are in the final stages of approval for an agreement with Folsom Lake College which would allow us to utilize space at FLC’s El Dorado Center at 6699 Campus Drive, Placerville. While we will be one school, we will continue to offer pathways similar to both the Connections and Charter University Prep programs. Available diplomas will include the Academic Diploma, which requires students to complete the a-g university entrance requirements, or the traditional High School Diploma. Through the new agreement with FLC, students will have the opportunity to complete Associate Degrees, IGETC Certifications as well as Career Education Courses and Certificates at the same time they finish high school. We will also continue to have a hybrid schedule. Students will attend on-campus high school courses two days per week and work independently and/or take college courses the other three days per week. We know our families value the hybrid schedule as it gives students the flexibility to take college classes, work or pursue other interests. How will this impact current CCA and CUPrep students? Current students will have a chance to complete the program they started with the additional advantage of enrolling in college classes with priority. It will not be mandatory for current students to take college courses. Beginning with the 2024-25 school year students will all receive a diploma from the Middle College High School, regardless of whether they complete any college courses or not. What will happen to the Middle School Program? Unfortunately due to space constraints, we will not be able to move our CUPrep Middle School program to the new site. Our sister school, Charter Home Study Academy (CHSA), will be absorbing our middle school program. This will allow CHSA to expand and offer advanced classes, like Algebra, for middle school students. It will also allow middle school students to have the support of a caseload teacher and the opportunity to access CHSA’s Think Tank” study hall on the days they are not attending classes. I’m not sure if I can handle college classes. What kind of supports are available? Advisory: Starting with the Freshmen class of 24-25, students enrolling in college classes will be enrolled in a support class called Advisory”. In this class, a high school instructor will help you with skills you will need in your college courses like note-taking, studying and time management. Your Advisory teacher will also make sure you know how to complete and turn in the work for your college classes. They will help you pick courses for the following semester, register for them and connect with FLC staff and instructors. Homeroom: All students will have 30 minutes two times per week in Homeroom”. Homeroom classes will be small and will offer students a chance to check in with their support teacher. During this time, students who need assistance with math or writing may also take advantage of the Math and Writing labs. Your Homeroom teacher will make sure you check your grades and assignments for both High School and College courses regularly. If you get behind, your Homeroom teacher will help you make a plan to get back on track. What will be different for next year’s incoming Freshman? Next year’s freshmen will all be enrolled in introductory college classes. As ninth graders, they will take HCD 111 College Discovery in the fall and HCD 310 College Success in the Spring. Students will also participate in online Fitness classes via FLC. Students who are working toward an Associate’s degree or the IGETC Certificate will take additional college courses in the Spring. Can I substitute college courses for my high school courses? In some cases you will be able to substitute college courses for high school requirements. We are currently working on a list of FLC courses which could be used to cover core high school academic subjects. Keep in mind, you can always use college courses to cover elective credits. Will the college classes be online or in person? This will vary depending on the course. We are working with FLC and hope to offer at least one in-person college course to each grade level each semester. Will I be in classes with college students? As ninth and tenth graders you will primarily take classes with other Middle College High School students. Eleventh and twelfth grade students will likely have a mix of courses that will include some classes with college students. Can I enroll in ANY college course I choose? Students will have help picking courses that lead to their individual goals whether that is an Associate’s Degree, an IGETC certificate or a career education pathway. Our agreement with FLC will streamline enrollment and ensure seats in the courses most commonly needed by Middle College students. If you are interested in a course not listed on our course list, you can still utilize the regular Dual Enrollment process. That simply means that you will not get to register as early and may not get the section which is your first choice. What if I want to take a class at another Los Rios College, like ARC or SCC? Students can still enroll in classes at ARC or SCC, but they will have to go through the regular Dual Enrollment...
