<p>I had a question about dual enrollment. I am an FLVS student going into my junior year. What is your opinion on doing virtual school and dual enrollment at the same time. My mom believes that it would be a good idea to get some college credits but I have read that it would be tough on my schedule considering that virtual school takes time to do and I also was going to start to volunteer at my local elementary school this upcoming school year. I am going to go see my guidance counselor soon and ask her also, but was just looking for other opinions. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Not exactly sure what virtual school entails, but I have a personal anecdote.</p>
<p>This past semester, I took on one class less than a full courseload at high school (block schedule). In addition, I took one online class, and two dual enrollment classes. Needless to say, I was busy. I wouldn’t recommend taking more than one dual enrollment course at a time, although it sounds as if virtual school would lend a lot of flexibility. I would suggest talking to your counselor, as you have mentioned.</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>Depending on what you take, it can allow flexibility. If you’re doing virtual school full time like myself, it allows some flexibility but not a ton. If you get a couple weeks behind pace, you get a threatening email from the administration which can be annoying. You have the flexibility of being able to leave town whenever you like and bring your work with you. If I was to do dual enrollment, I would lose that privilege. </p>
<p>May I ask what dual enrollment courses you’re taking and if you can suggest any that might not involve a ton of my time?</p>
<p>Thanks again!</p>
