Credit Acceleration Program


Our Acceleration program is the perfect space for students to get ahead of schedule by enrolling in ten credits worth of online A-G, NCAA-approved coursework. This is ideal for incoming 9th graders looking to get a headstart on their high school career, as well as for high-achieving 10th-12th grade students who want to extend their learning into the summer, engage in intensive high-interest courses, or earn community college credit while in high school.
