For PCA students interested in building college credits

Here at PCA, we believe in encouraging our students to maximize their potential. Concurrent college coursework, offered at Phoenix Charter Academy, is a program that allows students to enroll in Shasta Community College courses without being formally admitted to Shasta Community College. Concurrent college coursework opens the door for future careers and sets students up for success as an adult by offering career training and much more. Many PCA high school students incorporate carefully chosen courses at Shasta College as part of their high school coursework. Be sure to talk with your PCA teacher if you would like to explore this option.
