Dual & Concurrent enrollment

Intro
Lynnhaven students who are ready for college-level work can take approved college courses while staying part of the Lynnhaven community. Students complete their coursework on our campus, with Lynnhaven faculty and staff supporting them along the way.

Two ways to take college courses

Dual Enrollment
Dual enrollment courses earn both college credit and credit toward a Lynnhaven diploma. They are built into a student’s Lynnhaven schedule and planned with the Academic Dean.

Concurrent Enrollment
Concurrent enrollment lets students take college courses alongside their Lynnhaven schedule to explore an interest or get ahead. These courses earn college credit. They count toward Lynnhaven graduation requirements only when approved by the Academic Dean before the student registers.

Lynnhaven Dual Enrollment with Briar Cliff University

Briar Cliff University, located in Sioux City, Iowa, is a regionally accredited, degree-granting institution through the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) and is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. This accreditation confirms Briar Cliff’s overall degree-granting status and ensures the university meets rigorous academic and institutional standards.

Through this partnership, Briar Cliff University professors will teach Lynnhaven students virtually online, providing an authentic college-level learning experience while students remain supported by the Lynnhaven community. All official transcripts and college credits are issued directly by Briar Cliff University, not Lynnhaven School.

Briar Cliff University is also a member of the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics), reflecting its commitment to student development through both academics and collegiate athletics.

Because Briar Cliff is regionally accredited, the college courses students take through Briar Cliff University are eligible to transfer to colleges and universities across the country, giving students a meaningful head start on their college journey and future academic goals.

How It Works
Talk with the Academic Dean. Together you’ll decide whether a course fits the student’s goals and schedule, and whether it will count toward graduation.

Get approval before registering. Only courses approved in advance count toward Lynnhaven graduation requirements.

Learn with support. Students work on their college courses during the school day, with check-ins from Lynnhaven faculty.

Earn credit. The college issues the college transcript. Approved courses also appear on the student’s Lynnhaven transcript.
