The Science Academy integrates community college courses as part of our high school curriculum (dual enrollment). Additionally, we support students who wish to take additional community college courses on their own (concurrent enrollment) with the goal of earning an Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) degree while still enrolled in high school.
For the latter courses, students are required to meet with our Counseling Office for guidance and encouraged to meet with an LAVC counselor to help navigate which courses are UC/CSU transferrable, and within these courses, which ones can be used to meet general education and preparation requirements for a major.
Currently, The Science Academy is partnered with Los Angeles Valley College for our dual enrollment high school classes, but students may concurrently enroll at any of the colleges in the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD).
