Concurrent/Dual Enrollment

Through concurrent enrollment, students have the opportunity to take college classes offered at Adams 12 high schools, Adams 12 FutureForward campuses, and at Front Range Community College. Five Star Schools pays the tuition for these classes.

In the district’s dual enrollment program, local colleges award credit to students at a nominal tuition cost that the student is responsible to pay. At Horizon, we currently partner with CU Succeed.
