Here’s something a lot of families don’t realize until it’s almost too late to take advantage of it: you can start earning college credit right now, while you’re still a student at The School of Arts and Enterprise. No waiting until senior year. No guesswork. Just real opportunities, built right into your time at The SAE.
AP & Honors Courses Give You a Head Start
Our Advanced Placement and Honors courses are designed to challenge you academically while giving you a real shot at college credit before you even walk the graduation stage. Every AP class you complete is a chance to save time and money down the road – and it’s one more line on your transcript that shows admissions officers you’re ready for what’s next. Our academic counselors are here to help you figure out which AP or Honors courses line up with your major and your goals; there’s likely one that fits better than you’d think.
Dual Enrollment Puts You on Campus Before Graduation
Through our local college partnership with Citrus College and Mt. San Antonio College, current SAE students can enroll in actual college-level courses while still finishing high school. That means real college credit, a taste of college coursework, and a head start on your higher education journey – all before you toss your cap in the air. It’s one more way our block scheduling and flexible curriculum work for you, not against you, making room for ambitious students to do more.
Your Portfolio and Your Plan Work Together
College credit is only part of the story. Every SAE student also graduates with a professional portfolio that showcases their best work – exactly what admissions committees want to see alongside those AP scores and college transcripts. Pair that with our admissions visits on our campus, our faculty and academic counselor connections to admissions officers at top conservatories and universities, and mentorship opportunities along the way, and you’ve got a plan that sets you up for success long before graduation day arrives.
Considering The SAE for the 2026–27 school year? Spots are still open, but our admissions window won’t stay that way for long. Visit our website to start your application and we’ll be in touch to set up a tour. We can’t wait to meet you – weird, wonderful, and all.
