What is the Diamond Program?​​​

​

Diamond is CHEC’s high school program for students in grades 10th–12th who are ready to begin dual enrollment while remaining part of a supportive homeschool community.

​

Students combine college coursework with CHEC classes, academic guidance, career exploration, leadership development, and real-world learning experiences. The program helps students develop the independence expected of college students while still receiving structure, encouragement, and accountability.

Depending on their academic history and goals, students may complete individual college courses, earn significant college credit, or pursue an associate degree while completing their high school diploma. Each family considers the student’s graduation requirements, completed credits, academic readiness, intended major or career interests, and ability to manage a college-level workload when developing a plan.

​

Diamond is more than a collection of classes. It is a guided transition into college, career, and adulthood.

SEU High School Experience & Support Program​
​

Students attend classes onsite at SEU Palm Beach Gardens while remaining connected to the CHEC community through student events and experiences, with continued CHEC support throughout their high school and dual enrollment journey.

​

CHEC High School Experiences

CHEC High School Experiences extend learning beyond the classroom through field trips, overnight class trips, fellowship opportunities, special events, and other memorable high school experiences. Students build independence, strengthen friendships, explore the real world, and stay connected to the CHEC community throughout their high school years.

​

​Dual-Enrollment Guidance and Support

Because every student’s pathway is different, CHEC partners with families by providing guidance, course checklists, planning tools, and information about dual-enrollment opportunities.

​

Families use these resources to create an academic plan that reflects their student’s high school requirements, college goals, intended major, and plans after graduation. CHEC is here to help families understand their options and feel more confident navigating the process.

​

Course and Pathway Guidance

CHEC provides information about courses that may satisfy high school graduation requirements or contribute toward a college degree. ​Families take the lead in researching college programs, majors, prerequisites, transfer policies, and degree requirements before making final course selections. CHEC provides tools and guidance to support these decisions, while families confirm current requirements directly with the college or university.

​

Families seeking individualized support may schedule a separate academic consultation for a more detailed review of their student’s records, requirements, and educational goals.

​

A Partnership for Student Success

Students are most successful when CHEC, parents, and students work together. Students practice taking greater ownership of their college coursework, parents remain connected to their progress and provide support at home, and CHEC offers guidance, encouragement, and accountability along the way.

​

Parents can also attend a virtual parent office hour for general questions about dual-enrollment procedures, resources, and next steps.​
