CVCS has dual-enrollment agreements with multiple colleges, including Harrisburg Area Community College (HACC), Colorado Christian University, Houghton College, Wilson College, and the University of Valley Forge. However, students can take dual-enrollment courses through any college of their choosing, as long as the college is accredited. Students in the past have taken dual-enrollment classes through Liberty University, Shippensburg University, Pennsylvania Western University, and other colleges. (Prices listed below are determined by each college and may be subject to change.)
Here is a summary of what each college offers:
HACC
• On campus, we teach two classes through HACC. English 101 is basic English composition and covers writing instruction for the types of assignments students will have to complete as they make their way through college. English 102 is a more advanced writing class; it deals with a combination of research, persuasion, and literary analysis. These classes are offered to seniors.
• Cost: For the 2025-26 academic year, a class taught at CVCS was $250.50; textbooks are provided. For a regular dual-enrollment class, cost is around $400; textbooks are not provided.

It is taught concurrently with English 11. British Literature I covers British literature from the Anglo-Saxon period through the Restoration Period. It is taught concurrently with English 12. Registration deadlines are flexible (Nov. 15 and April 15), which means that a student who is taking English 11 or 12 can decide partway through the course to take the course for college credit.
