Take College Classes for Both HS and College Credit

I’ll admit I haven’t been spending a lot of time lately keeping up with developments in the high school-to-college transition process. Still, I saw a mention of something on our local TV feed that seems somewhat special.

Nevada has a set of public charter schools where juniors and seniors take real college classes and get both high school graduation credit and college credit for each class successfully completed. It is called Nevada State High School, see its promo here.  It has multiple campuses, if that is the right term.

Sounds ideal for achievers in a hurry, or kids who need a looser structure than regular high school provides. I hope it works out.
