What is High School Scholars?

High School Scholars is a great way to dip a toe into the waters of Concurrent Enrollment.  College courses are taught by our D51 high school teachers on their home school campus.  D51 partners with CMU to get high school teachers qualified to teach these courses, and D51 teachers work hand in hand with CMU professors to make sure they are providing the same rigorous coursework offered on CMU's campus.  Courses vary from school to school, so check with your counselors to see what options you have!
