Students in Tri-Valley Earn College Credit With Classes at Las Positas College

Announcement submitted by Las Positas College:

The Tri-Valley ROP and Las Positas College recently launched a “Middle College” program at Las Positas College in Livermore.

Twenty-five students from high schools in Dublin, Livermore and Pleasanton are exploring college life while taking three high school classes at LPC from 8-11:00 a.m. daily.

“This program allows high school students the opportunity to experience college and take ownership of their learning journey,” said Kathleen Frazer, Tri-Valley ROP administrative program director.” This non-traditional educational opportunity allows students to explore career pathways while still obtaining both college and high school credit.”

Students will take up to 11 college units during the program, while still attending their local high school.

Middle College is designed to provide a supportive, academically rigorous environment for self-directed learners looking for a non-traditional collegiate pathway. Working in collaboration with Las Positas College, Middle College students pursue post-secondary goals through a highly engaging instructional program based on critical thinking, collaboration, and effective communication.

For more information about the Las Positas College/Tri-Valley ROP Middle College program or for photo opportunities, please contact Kathleen Frazier at (925) 424-1806or by email at KFrazer@laspositascollege.edu.
