College Admission Requirements
Preparing students to meet college admission requirements begins in middle school, not in high school.  The efforts of parents to nurture a love of learning, to give time to read to and with their child and to instill high expectations for performing well in school, lay the foundation for success in school.
Throughout elementary, middle and high school a student must put forth his/her best efforts to be the very best student they can be.  The important steps taken from childhood will be rewarded.  Students without this preparation will face a much more difficult time in the modern world.  With this in mind, the A-G admission requirements for college are listed below.

Community Colleges – For community colleges there are no specific subject requirements for admission.  However, a student will still need the classes listed above in order to prepare for the more advanced courses required to transfer to a 4 year college.  If you do not take A-G requirement classes in high school, you may have to take remedial classes in community college.
