Dual-Enrollment

By selecting the dual-enrollment option, students can participate in up to 75% of their academic classes (while homeschool at least 25%) and/or extra-curricular activities at the appropriate Ames public school.

Dual-enrolled students at Ames High School (AHS) have access to classes, clubs, extra-curricular activities, and Family Connection (AHS’s college application management system), in addition to their homeschooling. A student must be dual-enrolled to access PSEOs.

• 9th-12th grade homeschool dual-enrolled students may take up to 6 credits per semester.
• Orchestra begins in Grade 4 and Band begins in Grade 5.
• 6th-8th grade dual-enrolled students may take up to 5 periods per day each semester
• 9th-12th grade dual-enrolled students may take up to 6 credits per semester

For a student to take more than that number of classes, they need to be enrolled full-time at AHS.

For families with students in Kindergarten through 5th grade, 6th through 8th grade and 9th through 12th grade who want more information, please view the dual-enrollment presentation information.
