In December we were given an amazing opportunity by Campus.edu to serve as testers for their new program. They are an RA college in California that has recently expanded to offer dual enrollment. 30 HS4CC teens are enrolled right now in their free class. Yesterday I received feedback that our group was doing OUTSTANDING. Drum roll… they’ve given us 30 more seats for April 10th!

The Details
The HS4CC community is often invited to beta test for colleges and businesses, so if you’ve ever done this with us before, you know how rewarding it is to be part of the building process. Your teen may be asked for their feedback, and it’s a fun way to get “paid” for your participation by being given free tuition!
Homeschooling for College Credit community (that’s you!) has been invited to serve as testers for Campus.edu. Our teens in 11th or 12th grade may choose ONE of the classes available for 3 college credits. THERE IS NO COST, this arrangement is completely free for your teen.
We currently have a cohort of about 30 students in the program doing their free course. The feedback regarding these live courses has been really great HS4CC teens produce high quality work, have above average engagement level, and excelling academically. Keep in mind this is a new program, so a few small bumps are to be expected, but they are quick and proactive when it comes to making these courses as perfect as possible.
Students who complete the course will be given a significant discount on future dual enrollment courses if they choose to continue.

Dual Enrollment
Dual enrollment courses mean a student receives credit from two places. First, as a homeschool, you’ll award high school credit for your student. The high school credit awarded is up to you, but awarding 1 credit for each college course is typical. Second, the college (Campus.edu) will award the college credit. Campus is a regionally accredited college and will record the college credit on their college transcript. If your student has never taken a dual enrollment course, I encourage you to read more about college-based dual enrollment on the HS4CC Dual Enrollment Page.
High School Category
ENG100 Composition: 1 English/Language Arts credit
MATH100: 1 Mathematics credit
BUSN180: 1 Economics credit
all other BUSN/ACCT/GE: 1 Elective credit
What your Teen can Expect from a Live Class Model
LIVE CLASSES
“All classes in the Campus program are live so that you can directly interact with professors and peers. We keep things engaging by holding lively discussions and debates, breakout sessions, forums, and more.”
OFFICE HOURS
“Benefit from unprecedented access to professors from world-class universities and accomplished TAs through live 1:1 office hours. Faculty are available every week so you can make connections, build rapport, and deepen your knowledge.”
What your Teen should NOT Expect
Perfection. This is a new program. There will be hiccups and imperfections in the course, and your teen’s feedback is valuable. Testing is the way a program improves, so if you want to be part of the improvement process AND get 3 free college credits, sign up for the orientation and we’ll see you there!
