Spring 2026 Da Vinci/El Camino Dual Enrollment course offerings –UPDATE

Good afternoon Designers!

NOTE:  UNFORTUNATELY PAPER DUAL ENROLLMENT FORMS ARE STILL NEEDED FOR SPRING SEMESTER.

Happy new year and welcome back! This spring semester, Da Vinci Schools is offering 4 dual enrollment partnership courses with El Camino College that will begin on February 16th, 2026.  Please see listing below.

HDEV 110, FILM 110, COMS 100 are open to 9th-12th grade students, while ENG C1000 is only open to 12th grade students.

NOTE:  ALL CLASSES ARE ASYNCHRONOUS/ONLINE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF COMS 100.

Da Vinci Schools will be assisting with sign-ups by hosting an application workshop in the RWL Center computer lab this Thursday, January 15th from 3:00pm-5:00 pm. Students should know their SSN# (if they have one) and whether or not their family is considered a military family when they come.

To be eligible to take a dual enrollment class, the student will need to be passing all their academic classes and have no credit recovery for a-g classes. Space is limited and we are accepting forms on a first come first serve basis!

 

Please see Miss Pam if you have questions.
