FLEX Diploma & Degree Program – Dual Credit Options
Two Paths to College Credit While in High School
Central Linn School District offers students opportunities to earn college credits while completing their high school education. Whether a student wants to explore college coursework or pursue an associate degree before graduating from high school, our programs provide pathways to help students get a head start on their future.
Students can participate through two distinct pathways: Expanded Options Program (EOP) or Accelerated Learning Option (ALO).
Expanded Options Program (EOP)
College Courses While Attending Central Linn High School
The Expanded Options Program (EOP) is designed for students who remain enrolled at Central Linn High School and want to take one or two college courses while continuing their regular high school schedule.
EOP allows eligible students to experience college-level coursework, explore academic interests, and earn college credits that may also count toward high school graduation requirements.
Students continue participating in their high school classes and activities while taking approved courses through Linn-Benton Community College (LBCC).
EOP is ideal for students who want to:
- Take one or two college courses while attending high school.
- Explore college subjects and potential career interests.
- Earn college credits before graduating.
- Experience college expectations while maintaining their regular high school experience.
FLEX Diploma & Degree — Accelerated Learning Option (ALO)
Earn an Associate Degree and High School Diploma Together
The FLEX Diploma & Degree Program offers a different opportunity for students who are ready to pursue college full-time while completing their high school education.
Through the Accelerated Learning Option (ALO), eligible students enroll in the Central Linn FLEX Alternative Education Program and attend community college as their primary academic program. Rather than taking just one or two college classes in addition to a traditional high school schedule, ALO students follow an individualized educational plan designed to meet both Oregon high school graduation requirements and the requirements for an associate degree.
Students work toward two important accomplishments at the same time: a high school diploma from Central Linn School District and an associate degree from a community college.
ALO students may attend Linn-Benton Community College, Lane Community College, or Chemeketa Community College through an approved educational plan.
This accelerated pathway generally requires a commitment of at least three successful academic years to complete both credentials, depending on the student’s starting point, course availability, and academic progress.
ALO is ideal for students who want to:
- Attend community college full-time while still enrolled in high school.
- Work toward an associate degree and high school diploma simultaneously.
- Pursue a more individualized and accelerated academic pathway.
- Develop college-level independence, responsibility, and academic skills.
- Make significant progress toward future educational and career goals before traditional high school graduation.
ALO students remain Central Linn School District students and receive academic planning, progress monitoring, and support to ensure their college coursework aligns with both high school and college degree requirements.
