VCS now offers dual credit |
|
 VCS Ohio has entered into a unique partnership with Kent State University to offer dual credit for high school and college courses. All courses will be offered online, so students do not have to travel to a college campus. It is possible for a student to earn two years of college credit before graduating from high school. This program is FREE for full-time VCS students. All others can purchase these courses at a rate of $185 per semester hour.
Students must apply before December 22, 2010 to begin classes in January. Click here for a brochure and application form. For more information, contact the VCS guidance office at (866) 501-9473, option 7. We are also in discussion with Columbus State Community College to offer online dual credit courses. Watch for more details on that developing partnership!

 The VCS Ohio summer school program gets better each year! Although we haven't finalized our summer school schedule for 2011 yet; it is in the works. Last year we offered two sessions during the summer so students could choose the one that best fit their schedule. It was a huge success! Watch for more details regarding summer school in the near future. Also, if you have any input about what you'd like to see in a summer school program, contact Eric Williams and offer your suggestions.
