School Counseling

Methacton High School counselors work closely with students to develop competencies in the areas of academics, personal/social and career development. Through individual counseling, classroom visits, and group presentations, counselors help students understand their learning strengths and weaknesses, select appropriate courses, plan for the post-high school transition into careers, military, or college.

Dual Enrollment

Methacton School District and the Montgomery County Community College have partnered to offer dual enrollment classes here at the high school. The Dual Enrollment courses are an excellent opportunity to experience the rigors of a college level class while still in high school. These courses are also a tremendous bargain as compared to other schools that many of our students ultimately attend There are fees that are associated with these classes that are outlined in the Program Planning Guide. The current tuition rate for DE courses is noted there as well. Each summer the tuition fees are raised a few dollars by the board of the Montgomery County Community College. There is also a fee associated with the textbook that the student and family are responsible for. The fees will vary each year, depending on the course, whether the textbook is new, used or rented or if there is an on-line textbook utilized. The textbooks can be purchased from the Community College’s bookstore and further information can be obtained about purchasing them by contacting the bookstore at 215-641-6600.
