Dual Enrollment courses: Oakton collaborates with partner high schools across the district area to offer college-level classes to eligible, driven high school students. Our dual credit courses are taught in high school classrooms by Oakton-approved high school teachers.
Oakton strives to provide students, instructors and high school personnel with the resources and support that empower students to successfully complete college-level courses in high school and successfully transition to college. In 2020, more than 3,600 high school students enrolled in the Oakton Dual Credit program, taught at a dozen high schools in our district.
Dual credit course offerings span both the academic and career technical disciplines. To determine if your high school is a dual credit partner and what courses are offered, review the list of Oakton dual credit partner high schools below.
