The Waterbury Public Schools takes pride in its partnerships with the College Board as well as local colleges and universities.  We offer a wide variety of Advanced Placement and College-level programs for our students.

Dual-enrollment courses are an excellent way for Waterbury Public Schools students to challenge themselves while also earning college credit. For all dual-enrollment courses, Waterbury Public Schools must adhere to its articulation agreement with each institution of higher education for course requirements. The successful completion of any dual enrollment course results in an official transcript from that institution with the grade earned. Students may attempt to transfer any and all dual-enrollment credits to the institution at which they enroll. Students are responsible for the application to each program. 

Certain college-level courses (UConn, NVCC, Post) may have university-required prerequisites that include specific courses, SAT scores, or grades in previous courses. This, however, should not discourage a student from discussing enrollment in one of these courses with their counselor as alternatives to such prerequisites may be available. Students interested in enrolling in one of our many advanced placement or college-level offerings should discuss their plans with their counselors in order to develop an academic plan that best aligns with their college and career goals.
