From figuring out what exactly I wanted to major in, to writing essays that were personal to me, to preparing for scholarship interviews, I always felt supported, and knowing I had people in my corner made a huge difference.”

College Credit through AP Classes and Dual Enrollment

At Oakbrook, we believe high school should do more than prepare students for college—it should give them a head start. That’s why we offer a comprehensive Advanced Placement (AP) program alongside Dual Enrollment partnerships with local colleges and universities.

Our students graduate with a strong record of achievement, typically completing a combination of 6–10 advanced courses and earning the equivalent of 22 college credits. Many even enter college with sophomore standing, saving valuable time and tuition while opening the door to early internships, study abroad opportunities, or a lighter college course load.

This unique blend of AP and Dual Enrollment provides more than academic rigor—it gives Oakbrook students the confidence, preparation, and momentum to thrive in college and beyond..

We’re here to help.

It’s important to feel confident in your school choice, and we’re happy to answer your questions and walk you through the application process.
