Dual Enrollment & Early College Academy
in partnership with St. Charles Community College (SCC) 

Advanced learning opportunities for WCHS students to earn college credit while completing high school.

Cost

  • Wright City R-II School District will bear the cost of tuition and books for successful completion of courses.  
  • Students who earn below a “C” in a course will be responsible for reimbursing the district for tuition and related books/supplies

Who Is Eligible?

  • This program is for Junior and Senior level students

  • Must have attended WCHS for at least one full semester 

  • Minimum GPA of 3.0 and strong foundation in Language Arts, Geometry, and Algebra II

  •  ACT score provides indicator of college readiness.

  • Attendance and student discipline records considered

Graduation Requirements

  • Ideally, students should satisfy the Fine Art and Practical Art credit requirements in their Freshman and Sophomore years at WCHS.
    • These credits are attainable through college courses, but course selection may be limited.
  • Students must complete Personal Finance at WCHS or take the comparable course at the college level (i.e. Personal Finance & Accounting) to meet this graduation requirement.
  • Students must complete 1 semester of American Government and take related assessments (Government EOC and Constitution tests).
  • Requirement met by taking AP Government at Wright City High School OR taking “College American Government” and “U.S. History from 1877 to Present”

Where Could This Get Me?

With a blended Dual Enrollment schedule, you have control to take a class or two, or as many as 3 a semester.  

  • A junior taking 3 college classes per semester would earn 18 college credit hours each year of High School.  They would start college with 36 hours (college level sophomore). However, we prefer one class the first semester of classes.

With Early College Academy you must successfully complete 12-18 hours a semester.

  • A junior starting this program could earn up to 60 hours of credit while in High School and graduate with a High School Diploma and possibly an Associates degree at the same time.


    Please see your school counselor for further information on dual credit opportunities.
