Dual Enrollment

Home-educated students may dual enroll in Family Christian Academy’s On Campus Classes as a part time student.

Many community and 4-year colleges are accepting middle school and high school students for individual coursework or for early entry into college. This allows students to earn both high school credit and college credits at the same time. If this sounds like a viable option for your student we recommend that your student prepare and sign up to take the college entrance ACT exam (generally taken between 10th-12th grades). Some students are able to take 11th and 12th grade course work while in college and earn both high school and college credits at the same time.

Depending on the college, students may or may not receive college credit for the course(s) taken. This is an important consideration if parents want their high school age students to receive college credit. Check with the college. When a student takes a college course, FCA will enter the course on the student’s transcript report and assign ½-high school credit for a 3-credit college course and 1-high school credit for a 5 or 6 credit college course. A complete transcript from the college must be submitted to FCA for student to receive proper credit.
