What is Dual Enrollment?
St. Johns County School District has a commitment to careers by providing high school students with hands-on learning opportunities at First Coast Technical College. Students can travel to FCTC for technical classes while taking required academic courses at their home high school.
Students who have completed credits in comparable technical courses at their high schools may receive credit for those competencies enabling them to begin their technical program at an advanced level. Students receive industry level hands-on training in a work environment lab. Dual enrollment students are exempt from paying tuition. Some programs will also require uniforms or safety equipment to be purchased.
