LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR HIGH SCHOOL Programs
Career Academy provides an opportunity for high school juniors and seniors to learn specific career knowledge and skills prior to high school graduation. Career Academy programs culminate in a career certificate or specialist diploma.
CollegeNOW! is designed for high school students to offer a jumpstart on their college education. Students enroll into sections taught by OPE电子竞技官网 faculty on campus or online.
Kickstart Online is a series of OPE电子竞技官网 general education courses for high school students. KSO courses count toward most OPE电子竞技官网 degrees and are transferable.
Concurrent Enrollment is a partnership between OPE电子竞技官网 and high school districts. Concurrent Enrollment courses are taught by OPE电子竞技官网 approved High School faculty who meet post-secondary faculty requirements. Students earn both high school credit and college credit simultaneously while attending their scheduled course in the high school classroom.
Gateway to College is a nationally recognized dual-credit high school diploma completion program. The program serves students ages 16-20 years old who would like an educational setting that is individually tailored for student success.
WHAT IS THE COST OF PARTICIPATION?
Current Nebraska High School students, grades 9 - 12, are automatically eligible to take credit classes at no tuition cost. Students in 9th grade become eligible for the tuition waiver in OPE电子竞技官网's Fall term. Students will be responsible for tools, textbooks, and any other associated course fees. Tuition for dual enrolled students will be paid for by federal funding, directed by the State and CCPE. Learn more about the tuition waiver.
