Concurrent Enrollment
McLain Community High School is proud to serve all student needs through a variety of interdisciplinary approaches.
Concurrent enrollment is a beneficial program that allows McLain students to access college classes during high school. Students in concurrent enrollment classes simultaneously receive high school and college credit.
Concurrent enrollment benefits students by lowering the cost of college, increasing the flexibility of academic options, increasing the ease of access to college coursework, and preparing students for a seamless transition into college.
Class sizes are small, so students receive individual attention and support to ease the transition from high school to the college environment. McLain’s current offerings are college courses through Red Rocks Community College.
Course offerings have included the following, with more courses in the works.
- English literature
- Environmental science
- Biology
- Psychology
