Valley College Time Schedule for 2008-2009: (refer to online 2007-2008 classes). An option will be available to students who are enrolled in an academy and score at the level of proficient or above in the STAR examination. All students must be enrolled in at least four classes at CHAMPS. The schedule for enrolling is the following:

1. Approval of the principal
2. Complete Valley College application in April, 2008
3. Take placement test as a group at Valley in English and mathematics in May.
4. If they pass the basic proficiency test in math, they may enroll in a college level mathematics or science class.

The main advantage for academy students enrolling in college classes as seniors is to enable them to complete a double major in college in just
four years.
