Credits & Concurrent Enrollment
HIgh School Credits
Mt. Ararat High School, Brunswick High School, and Freeport High School have entered into an agreement to grant three high school credits annually for completion of any Region 10 Technical High School program with successful outcomes. This collaborative initiative underscores our commitment to providing comprehensive educational opportunities and recognizing the valuable skills and knowledge acquired through technical education. Through this partnership, students have the opportunity to earn credits that contribute to their academic advancement and future success, bridging the gap between technical training and traditional high school curriculum.
Concurrent Enrollment
Concurrent enrollment refers to a program where high school students have the opportunity to enroll in college-level courses while still completing their high school education. These courses are typically offered either at the high school campus or on the college campus itself. Students earn both high school and college credit for successfully completing the coursework.
The benefits of concurrent enrollment courses for students are numerous:
College Credit: Students can earn college credit while still in high school, allowing them to get a head start on their college education and potentially graduate from college earlier.
Cost Savings: Concurrent enrollment courses are often more affordable than regular college courses, saving students and their families money on tuition and fees.
Rigorous Academic Experience: Concurrent enrollment courses provide students with a challenging academic experience that prepares them for the rigors of college-level coursework.
Smooth Transition to College : By taking college-level courses in high school, students gain valuable experience with college-level expectations, academic rigor, and time management skills, making the transition to college smoother and more successful.
Exploration of Academic Interests: Concurrent enrollment courses allow students to explore different academic subjects and career paths before committing to a specific college major or career.
Increased Confidence: Successfully completing college-level coursework in high school boosts students’ confidence in their academic abilities and motivates them to pursue higher education and career goals.
Overall, concurrent enrollment courses provide students with an invaluable opportunity to accelerate their academic and career development, saving time and money while preparing them for future success in college and beyond.
