LaGuardia Community College

LaGuardia's College Now program seeks to prepare high school students for successful academic performance in college and to facilitate their transition from high school to college.

Most classes take place at our partner high schools. However, we offer many activities and college-credit courses on campus throughout the year. A selected number of students also join us each year through our College Connection program which allows high school juniors and seniors to take "classes with other college students."

Options for Nearly Everyone

Whether you're a 10th grader, an English Language Learner, or a qualified junior or senior, you can find what you need to succeed at LaGuardia College Now.

• 10th grade electives. Several of LaGuardia's partner high schools offer a 10th grade course for high school elective credit. These courses usually revolve around specific themes and allow you to explore topics in depth. Depending on your school, you can study anything from engineering to the connections between psychology and literature.
