[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm looking into the MC Dual Enrollment program for my rising senior, who is not yet enrolled in MCPS. Does anyone know if they would have to actually take any classes at their home high school, or if all classes could be done at MC? (I realize there may not be enough info to fully answer this, but I guess what I'm looking for is whether anyone's child has done this)

And yes, I will be talking to the school directly, but likely not until next week. [/quote]
Are you coming from SSFS closing? If so, it might be worth working with other senior parents to share information together and perhaps coordinate together regarding process, options, and classes.

Dual enrollment information links:
https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/high-school-students/dual-enrollment/index.html 
https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/partnerships/dual-enrollment 
The most typical option that seniors take is one or two courses at MC and a minimum of 3 courses at the HS. As PP said, if you are full time MC, then you may need to pay for the additional credits. Each high school has a coordinator for dual enrollment, who may or may not be really helpful in unusual situations. The same thing goes for your assigned counselor.

One thing to look at is where you stand for graduation. For a typical course sequence in MCPS, most students just need English 12 their senior year in order to graduate. If your DC wants to graduate early, they could take that course in the summer, graduate, and then enroll directly to MC. But you would then pay for all courses.

This is the MC page with details for both MCPS students and private, homeschool, or out-of-state HS students:

You might consider homeschooling your DC for senior year and enrolling in MC that way. Here is the info for that:

Good luck to your DC!
