On Friday, October 17, Leyden hosts a virtual college information night for students and families interested in getting a head start on college while still attending high school. This session will highlight opportunities for students to earn college credit, explore career pathways, and even graduate high school with a college degree.
Learn about three exciting programs:
- Dual Credit, which offers college level courses on the Leyden campus;
- Career Academies, where hands-on experiences can lead to industry recognized certificates;
- Dual Degree Program, which allows juniors and seniors to attend Triton College full-time and graduate with an associate degree by high school graduation.
The virtual session will be held from 5:30–6:30 p.m., with both English and Spanish sessions available. Join on Google Meet at meet.google.com/hyw-vczp-xic to discover how your student can save time, save money, and get ahead on their college and career goals.
