High School on a College Campus® – The AHSA Advantage

High School on a College Campus® – The AHSA Advantage 

Imagine graduating high school not just with a diploma—but with college credits, career certifications, and real-world experience that puts your child ahead of the curve. At American High School Academy (AHSA), this isn’t a dream. It’s a daily reality at our North Campus inside Miami Dade College (MDC) North.

This is High School on a College Campus®, and it’s the smartest move for students in grades 9–12 who want more out of high school.


A High School Campus—Inside a College

AHSA North is located directly on the grounds of MDC North, giving students daily access to real college life. From classrooms to cafeterias, students are immersed in a college setting while receiving the full support of a dedicated high school program.

They benefit from:

  • Access to MDC’s libraries, study lounges, and student resources

  • On-site tech labs, smart boards, and collaborative learning tools

  • Dining options including Chick-fil-A, Starbucks, and Cuban cafés

  • A structured, supportive campus environment that nurtures student success

This unique experience helps students build college-level confidence, discipline, and motivation long before graduation.


Dual Enrollment: Required at AHSA North

At AHSA North, dual enrollment is not optional—it’s required. Eligible students take college-level courses through Miami Dade College while completing their high school diploma.

They can:

  • Earn college credits

  • Graduate with a college certificate or associate degree

  • Save thousands of dollars in tuition

  • Start college ahead of peers—or finish it early

  • Strengthen college applications and future job prospects

💡 Who Pays for Dual Enrollment?

In Florida, dual enrollment is funded by the state, making it completely free for families.

📝 According to Florida Statute 1007.271:

“Tuition and fees are waived for all dual enrollment students. Instructional materials shall be provided at no cost.”

📌 Confirmed by Miami Dade College:

“There is no cost to the student for the dual enrollment program. Tuition and fees are exempted, and textbooks are provided.”

This means families pay nothing for their child to earn real college credits during high school.
