COM Collegiate High School
Collegiate High School (CHS) is an Advanced Academic Middle College Program for high school students who seek an academically challenging, mature educational environment. CHS offers rigorous academic instruction, career guidance, academic counseling, and work-based learning opportunities. By optimizing dual credit opportunities, students may complete high school graduation and associate degree requirements simultaneously.
Through specially designed Transitions classes and activities, CHS students are allowed to enroll as full-time college students at College of the Mainland. Depending upon public high school requirements, some students may enroll as early as their freshman year of high school. Students may also enroll as private school students.
With the support of their local high school, students may remain enrolled in their local high school, but complete their school day on the college campus. Students can continue their participation in extra-curricular and UIL activities, while enjoying the rigors of college academics.
Students and parents should strongly consider that students entering this program will be considered college students and expected to perform accordingly. High school procedures will not be followed in the college classes and college instructors follow their own grading and attendance procedures. Progress reports and other parent notifications will not be sent home from college classes. Students must be mature enough to motivate themselves to be successful in an adult environment.
