Did you know that your child can “go to college” on the campus of MRA? This past school year marked the completion of the sixth year of the dual credit program at Madison-Ridgeland Academy. The dual credit program offers students the opportunity to gain credit at a college university while also earning credits towards their high school graduation requirements. MRA partners with Mississippi College to offer these college credits to qualifying sophomores, juniors, and seniors. MRA was able to pull from our own faculty to teach these courses on our campus and these teachers are, in fact, adjunct professors at Mississippi College. Currently, MRA offers 27 hours of college credit with five college math courses, three college English courses, and college-level Psychology, offering many graduating students the opportunity to walk away from MRA with a semester’s worth of college credit hours just from dual credit work. When paired with the college credit that students have the opportunity to gain through any of our 15 Advanced Place- ment courses, students have the ability to leave MRA with a head start in completed college coursework, opening up new opportunities for them upon their arrival at the college of their choice. MRA Class of 2018 graduate and Missis- sippi State University senior civil engineering student, Jake Reeves, says that the dual credit and AP program set him up for success and opportunity as he studied engineering. “The thirty hours I earned in AP and dual credit classes allowed me the freedom to take special classes required by organiza- tions on campus, co-op two semesters with an Engineering company, and still be on track to graduate on time.” -Laurie Strickland
