Enrollment 2026-2027: You can apply for After-School now!
<p><strong>"Apply with non-panicked urgency..."</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Executive Director of Enrollment Kilian Betlach and Enrollment Marketing Team leader Bobby Jordan convene to review the basics of submitting an application for the on-time enrollment and highlight changes for the 2026-2027 enrollment season. Most importantly, perhaps, is the change that allows families to submit After-School Progam applications* when they apply for their core school program. This replaces the Balkanized, site- and agency-specific model with disparate models, timelines and procedures.

College on Campus: How OUSD students are using Dual Enrollment to get a jump on college
<p><strong>"Dual Enrollment is a post-secondary accelerant..."</strong></p><p><br></p><p>For a long time, if you were doing college-level work in high school, this meant taking Advanced Placement (AP) classes and then cramming for their multiple-choice centric exams at the end of the year, hoping you'd get a 4 or a 5 to earn credit. Today in Oakland Unified, college-level access means taking <strong>actual </strong>college classes <strong>without </strong>leaving campus. it's called Dual Enrollment, and it's an ever-growing program wherein more and more high schoolers are earning college credit and high school credit and college exposure and 6-point As and deepening their Linked Learning Pathway experiences. </p><p><br></p><p>That's a lot. </p><p><br></p><p>Like almost too good to be true.
