Community is central to our program's philosophy which is why so many of our students share that they finally feel a sense of belonging in Middle College.

College Now!

More info at: College Now!

College Now! is ideal for students who are highly self-motivated, mature, independent, responsible, and hardworking. These students may have 'outgrown' high school and are seeking a stimulating educational environment that is different from their home high school. Students can take up to 15 units per quarter at Foothill College. Units are doubled for high school so 30 high school units will be entered on high school transcripts.


If you are interested in the program, contact either:

• Dr. Gary McHenry (College Now Adviser)  gary.mchenry@mvla.net
