The Summit Academy South is proud to offer our students the opportunity to enroll in specific community college classes as part of the Concurrent Enrollment program (CE).  As part of CE,  students' tuition is paid by The Summit Academy South. Students receive credit for these classes both at the college and high school level.​

Summit South students in grades 10-12 can participate in CE at a local community college. Interested students should contact Mrs. Bidwell in the spring for enrollment in the following fall-semester college courses. Students enrolled at Summit South may choose to participate as full-time or part-time students. Email Mrs. Bidwell with any questions so we can set up a meeting.

Students who have participated in CE can apply for ASCENT.  This is a 5th year of high school in which students only take community college classes. The program provides free tuition to students. There is an application process through Summit. The program is competitive so please contact Mrs. Bidwell about it before a student's senior year.
