COLLEGE

Start College in 9th Grade — For Free

Connect High students earn real college credits starting in 9th grade through Arizona State University, learning at their own pace, exploring their interests, and choosing whether to transcript college coursework. All courses meet California A-G requirements.

After graduation, students can continue toward an AA or Bachelor’s degree with our LifeLaunch program—all at no cost to families.

Both pathways meet California A–G requirements and prepare students for college and careers.
