Students in the Apple Valley Unified School District will soon be able to take courses offered by Cal State San Bernardino before they graduate high school.
California State University’s High School University Program will offer classes to qualified students at Apple Valley High School and at Granite Hills High School during the 2025-26 academic year, according to a statement on Cal State San Bernardino’s website.
The classes will be taught on both of those campuses.
“This (agreement) between Cal State San Bernardino and the Apple Valley Unified School District represents a pivotal step in expanding access to higher education for high school juniors and seniors,” said Rafik Mohamed, the university’s provost and vice president for academic affairs.
“We are creating a seamless pathway for students to experience college-level learning, earn credits and develop the skills needed for academic success.”
All classes will be approved by the school district and be paid for with a grant from the K-16 Collaborative and the Gates Foundation. Cal State San Bernardino recently entered into a similar agreement with Victor Valley Union High School District.
