Dual Enrollment Information for Students, Parents & Guardians
San Diego Unified Students
Students who are enrolled at participating San Diego Unified high schools may sign up through their counselors to take one or two online courses through iHigh Virtual Academy. This is accomplished through "dual enrollment," in which the student is taking classes through both the "home" high school and iHigh Virtual Academy. Students that are interested in Dual Enrollment should please contact their school counselors to request enrollment. No application is needed for dual enrollment. However, students do need to submit the signed Academic Honesty Agreement and Parent Permission slip to their counselor.
Approximately 800 students from 22 SDUSD school sites dual-enroll each semester dual-enrolled in online iHigh courses.
Most iHigh courses are offered in both quarter (9 week) or semester (18 week) sessions. Advanced Placement courses and world language courses are semester-only format.
STUDENTS: Please do not complete the online iHigh application unless you are interested in full time enrollment at iHigh.
Students Currently Attending Other Districts, Private Schools & Charter Schools
Students who attend schools outside of San Diego Unified are not eligible to enroll part-time in iHigh courses. This includes direct-funded charter schools, even if charters were approved by SDUSD.
Students from anywhere in San Diego County who wish to attend iHigh Virtual Academy full time at no cost may do so by applying for an inter-district transfer. For example, we currently have students who live in Sweetwater, Grossmont, San Dieguito and Coronado school districts but attend iHigh Virtual Academy on an interdistrict transfer.
For more information on inter-district transfers, please contact Patty MacIntyre, iHigh Principal, at 619-209-4591 or pmacintyre@sandi.net.
