Shasta College Dual Enrollment

Shasta College Dual Enrollment

At Tehama Oaks, we are proud to offer dual enrollment opportunities for our students through Shasta College. Every student at Tehama Oaks is also a college student, with the unique chance to earn college credit while still completing their high school education.
Our dual enrollment program takes place once a week, allowing students to engage in college-level coursework that prepares them for post-secondary education and career success. We are excited to share that over 50 students have successfully completed at least one college course, marking an important milestone in their academic journey.
This program not only enriches the learning experience but also empowers our students by helping them build confidence and gain valuable skills for the future.
