More Flexibility to Make Dual Enrollment Work

Dual enrollment gives eligible Lake County high school students the opportunity to begin college or career-technical coursework while still working toward their high school diploma.

At Alee Academy, the advantage is flexibility. Our small school environment and flexible scheduling can make it easier to build high school around opportunities outside the traditional school day. With the return of our night program for the 2026–2027 school year, some students may be able to attend Alee in the evening while leaving more of the daytime available for approved college or career-technical courses.

Dual Enrollment With More Room in Your Schedule

Dual enrollment opportunities are available to eligible high school students throughout Lake County. However, having access to a program and having room in your schedule to take advantage of it are two different things. Alee Academy offers a flexible learning environment that can give students more options for balancing their high school requirements with college, technical education, work, and other responsibilities.

  • Flexible Scheduling

    A traditional high school schedule does not always line up neatly with college or technical courses. Alee Academy’s flexible approach can give eligible students more options when planning high school and dual enrollment coursework.

  • More Daytime Opportunities

    Some college and career-technical courses take place during the traditional school day. For students whose schedules allow it, greater flexibility can make those daytime opportunities easier to pursue.

  • Night Program

    Alee Academy’s night program returns for the 2026–2027 school year, providing another option for completing high school coursework. For some students, attending Alee in the evening may leave more of the traditional school day available for approved college or career-technical courses.

  • A Head Start After High School

    Dual enrollment can help students begin working toward their next goal before graduation. Depending on the program, students may earn college credit or make progress toward career and technical training while completing high school.

Eligibility, courses, schedules, application requirements, costs, and deadlines are determined by the participating college or technical institution and may change. Students should review current program requirements when considering dual enrollment.

College During the Day. High School at Night.

For some students, the return of Alee Academy’s night program creates a different way to think about the high school schedule.

Instead of trying to fit college or career-technical courses around a full traditional school day, eligible students may have the option to use part of the daytime for approved dual enrollment coursework and attend Alee Academy in the evening.

That flexibility can be especially useful when a desired college or technical course is only available during daytime hours.

Dual enrollment still requires planning. Students must continue meeting their high school graduation requirements while also meeting the academic, attendance, and other requirements of the college or technical program.

Alee Academy can help students and families consider how these pieces may fit together.

Is Dual Enrollment Right for You?

Dual enrollment can be a good fit for students who are ready to take on additional responsibility and want to begin preparing for what comes after high school.

It may be worth exploring if you:

  • Want to begin earning college credit before high school graduation
  • Are interested in career or technical training
  • Are ready for the expectations of college-level or postsecondary coursework
  • Want to make productive use of a flexible high school schedule
  • Have a specific college, career, or educational goal you want to begin working toward

The right path depends on the student, the program, and the requirements that still need to be completed for high school graduation.
