Sophia Academy seniors have joined the incoming class at Esperanza College for one class per semester. Dual Enrollment has many benefits for our students: becoming familiar with college expectations and processes, thus taking the “fear factor” out of college matriculation; completing high school requirements while earning college credit at the same time; having Sophia teachers help with everything from time management, to understanding syllabi, to writing.
Each student reacts differently. Some throw themselves into the college course and want to take more. Others drag their feet and say “I’m going to trade school.” But the great thing about classes at Esperanza is that even trade school classes like College Algebra (needed for many trades) can be completed early.
