Dual Enrollment

A Component of Future Ready

Dual enrollment programs offer significant benefits for high school students and their families by allowing students to earn college credits while still in high school. These programs often provide college courses at a significantly discounted tuition rate, reducing the overall cost of higher education. Additionally, the credits earned through dual enrollment are often transferable to other colleges and universities, giving students a head start on their degree and potentially shortening the time required to graduate. This combination of academic advancement and financial savings makes dual enrollment a valuable opportunity for families seeking to prepare their students for college success. All dual enrollment opportunities are optional and costs incurred/required are the responsibility of the student/family.  Kennett High School is proud to provide dual enrollment opportunities for our students and their families.  There are 7 dual enrollment courses offered on site, by approved KHS staff, as well as multiple other options for off site and remote college credit attainment.

Immaculata University - Dual Enrollment

We are thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership with Immaculata University! Through this collaboration, Kennett High School (KHS) students enrolled in Advanced Placement (AP) courses can now earn college credits based on successful course completion—regardless of their AP Exam score or participation. All KHS AP teachers and courses have been thoroughly vetted and approved by Immaculata University. Simply put, if your child earns an "A" in their KHS AP course, Immaculata will honor that same grade for its equivalent college course.  

At Immaculata University, the cost for dual enrollment courses is $125 per college credit hour.  Registering for college credit via Immaculata University is optional and all costs associated with registration and tuition are the responsibility of the student/family. Please note that tuition costs are subject to change at the discretion of Immaculata University. Participation in the dual enrollment program or the AP exam is determined solely by the student and family, and AP teachers will provide further details at the start of the course.

University of Delaware - Dual Enrollment

Through our continuing and expanding partners with the University of Delaware, KHS students will now have the opportunity to participate in two dual enrollment courses, EntreX and DesignX.

The EntreX Program equips high school students with the skills they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world. By fostering agile thinking and creative problem-solving, students are empowered to address real-world challenges in their classrooms and communities. Course offerings include entrepreneurship (EntreX - 3 credits), sustainable design (DesignX - 3 credits), and leadership, each with the opportunities to earn college credit at a significantly discounted rate. These courses help students demonstrate their ability to succeed in university-level work while developing essential skills like collaboration, critical thinking, and persuasive communication.
