College Credit Plus Program
We participate in the College Credit Plus program, which is a state-funded opportunity for students to receive college credit while enrolled in our school. The goal of this program is to provide a wide variety of options to college-ready students.
This program is available to college-ready students in grades 7 and 8. Taking a college course from a public college or university is free, which means there is no cost for tuition, books, or fees. Taking a college course from a private college or university may cost extra. If accepted, our students can take courses offered in person or online by any public or participating private college or university.
For more information, visit the College Credit Plus program website or contact the school.
