Unlocking Endless Possibilities: Continuing Education at Stanley Park High
At Stanley Park High, we firmly believe that learning is a lifelong journey, and we are dedicated to providing our community with a wealth of opportunities to grow, explore, and achieve their goals. Whether you’re a student looking to get a head start on your college education, a working professional seeking to enhance your skills, or an adult learner aiming to pursue a new passion, our continuing education programs offer a diverse range of options to empower you on your educational path.
Soaring to New Heights: Dual Enrollment and Early College Programs
One of the most exciting opportunities we offer at Stanley Park High is our dual enrollment and early college programs. These innovative initiatives allow high school students, including sophomores, juniors, and seniors, to earn college credits while still in the comfort of their own school. By taking advantage of these programs, students can not only get a taste of the college experience but also jumpstart their higher education journey, saving time and money in the long run.
Our UA Early College initiative, for example, gives students the chance to earn college credit from the University of Alabama, either in person or online. Additionally, our ACCESS Virtual Learning program, part of the Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide (ACCESS) initiative, provides free online courses for 6th-12th grade students, covering a wide range of subjects, including foreign languages, Advanced Placement, and credit recovery options.
Enriching the Mind: Lifelong Learning Opportunities
But our commitment to lifelong learning doesn’t stop at the high school level. At Stanley Park High, we also offer a variety of enrichment opportunities for adults and community members, empowering them to explore new interests, enhance their skills, and continue their educational journey.
Through our partnership with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at the University of Alabama, we provide intellectually stimulating non-credit courses, as well as travel and social opportunities, for individuals over the age of 50. From weekly courses and lecture series to field trips and volunteer programs, OLLI offers a vibrant community for older adults who are passionate about learning and discovery.
For those seeking professional development or specialized training, our Continuing Education and Lifelong Learning (CELL) division offers a range of relevant, purpose-driven programming. Whether you’re looking to enhance your career skills, explore a new industry, or earn continuing education credits, CELL’s diverse offerings, including conferences and asynchronous non-degree courses, can help you achieve your goals.
Empowering Adult Learners: Flexible Pathways and Supportive Services
At Stanley Park High, we recognize that adult learners often have unique needs and responsibilities, which is why we’ve developed flexible and supportive programs to cater to their diverse requirements. Our New College LifeTrack program, for example, allows adult students to blend multiple areas of educational interest into a meaningful, interdisciplinary curriculum, leading to a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree.
Furthermore, our community partners, such as the Career Advancement Charter (CAC) program in Santa Cruz County, offer adult learners the opportunity to earn their high school diploma while simultaneously building essential academic and technical skills for college and career success. These programs often include flexible, independent study options, as well as a variety of enrichment services, such as English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, Zumba fitness classes, and community dinners, fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment.

At Stanley Park High, we understand that every individual has unique educational needs and aspirations. That’s why we’ve designed our continuing education and enrichment programs to be highly personalized, allowing you to tailor your learning experience to your specific goals and interests.
