To ensure successful learning for every student our staff is committed to effective classroom instruction, rigorous curricula, and quality relationships between staff, students, parents, and our college partner. As middle college high school students, our students dual-enroll at AOC and College of the Canyons Community College (COC) to meet educational goals which include high school graduation, college freshmen admission, college transfer, an Associate’s Degree, and career certification. On average, students complete one year of transferable college level courses and have the opportunity to earn an Associate’s Degree by high school graduation.
