Middle College students can pick and choose any classes they want. That's different from dual enrollment, which limits the classes students can take.

How the Blue Water Middle College differs from high school

The job of the middle college is to help students complete college, not just enroll in it. Students learn to succeed in college by taking actual college courses while they are still in high school. 

Participate in extracurricular activities

The great thing about college is that schedules can be flexible. The Middle College enrolls many students who play in their marching band, participate in sports, and do all the other high school activities they choose.
