[quote=Anonymous]It seems to me the advantages are as follows:

It allows you to go further in your area of interest (with more variety) than you can at your local high school.

It gives you more opportunities to learn how to be a college student before college in a more supportive environment.

Both my kids are doing it.  One via early college now (they take all classes jr and sr year at the college) and the other via traditional dual enrollment (so they have a blended schedule).

There do tend to be a lot of nay sayers on this board but oddly none of them seem to have any actual experience with their kids doing dual enrollment and they all seem to assume all kids are identical in their needs and interests.

Ignore any people who say only unintelligent kids do dual enrollment.

That said, if your primary goal is the absolute safest path to the lottery of ivy school admissions, I wouldn’t do anything to rock the boat.  I’d just stay at the local high school.  If you want to select the academic pathway that makes the most sense for your child to thrive, DE can definitely be a part of that.[/quote]
