About Course Scheduling
Course scheduling for high school students is a critical process where students select their classes for the upcoming academic year, balancing required credits with their personal interests and future career goals. This section of the website serves as a resource for information on specialized course options beyond the standard curriculum. Specifically, you can find details on Diversified Occupations, which is a work-study program where students attend school for half the day and work in a supervised, related job for the other half, gaining valuable real-world experience. Additionally, information is provided on Concurrent Enrollment and Dual Enrollment programs, which allow students to earn college credit while still in high school, and Advanced Placement (AP) courses, which offer college-level coursework and the opportunity to potentially earn college credit through an end-of-course exam.
Concurrent Enrollment
Concurrent enrollment courses are high school classes taught at our school by our teachers. These courses are approved by a partner college or university, and students earn both high school and college credit for them based on their performance. The college credits earned are generally transferable to other institutions, though this depends on the receiving institution's policies.
We partner with the following institutions for concurrent enrollment:
- Delaware Valley University
- Harrisburg University of Science and Technology
- Moravian University
- Northampton Community College
- Seton Hall University
Dual Enrollment
Dual enrollment courses are college courses open to high school students. They may be taught online, on a college campus, or sometimes at our school with a high school teacher facilitating the class. Students pay tuition, which varies by the institution. Dual enrollment courses earn college credit only, not high school credit. The college credits earned are generally transferable to other institutions, but their transferability is subject to the receiving institution's policies.
We partner with the following institutions for dual enrollment:
- Commonwealth University
- DeSales University
- East Stroudsburg University
- Harrisburg University of Science and Technology
- Northampton Community College
Diversified Occupations (DO)
The Diversified Occupations (DO) program is a direct relationship/partnership between a local business/industry and the school. Career competencies and manipulative aspects of skills are developed at the job training station site. Enrollment is limited to seniors who are good standing with their graduation requirements. Any courses that are needed for graduation take priority over DO. Prior to the start of the school year, all enrolled students must have an approved work site to continue enrollment in the program. If students are requesting DO for the second semester of their senior year, they need to notify their school counselor prior to the start of the school year, for scheduling purposes. Failure to do so would prevent them from participating in DO. Students enrolled in DO must meet with the program teacher on Thursdays and Fridays during 5th period, before leaving for their jobsite. DO students are required to take the NOCTI examination during the spring of their senior year.

Advanced Placement (AP)
Advanced Placement (AP) courses are offered in various subject areas. Advanced Placement courses are college-level courses that use the College Board’s approved curriculum to prepare students for the course-ending AP exams. Students must understand that success in any AP course will require extra study time and effort on their part.
AP Enrollment:
● Any student that wants to enroll in an Advanced Placement course must complete the Advanced Placement Course Request Sheet. This sheet can be found in the Guidance Office.
● All students that take an Advanced Placement course will be required to take the Advanced Placement examination at the end of the course in May. The district will provide financial assistance.
● Any student wishing to drop an Advanced Placement course will need approval of the high school administration.
