Dual Credit Program

Get a Head Start on College

West Virginia Academy’s Dual Credit Program provides scholars in grades 10 through 12 with the opportunity to earn college credits while completing their high school education. Through partnerships with local colleges and universities, scholars can enroll in college level coursework that counts toward both high school graduation requirements and future college degree programs.

Our Dual Credit Program is designed to challenge scholars academically while helping them prepare for success after graduation.

Benefits of Dual Credit

Scholars participating in Dual Credit courses earn both high school and college credit simultaneously while experiencing the expectations and rigor of college coursework. These opportunities help strengthen college and scholarship applications, allow scholars to explore career interests and future academic pathways, and provide an opportunity to save time and reduce future college tuition costs. Scholars also build confidence, independence, organization, and time management skills that will support them long after graduation.

Partnership Opportunities

West Virginia Academy partners with local colleges and universities to provide accessible and meaningful learning opportunities for our scholars. These partnerships allow scholars to take courses in a variety of academic areas while remaining connected to the supportive environment at WVA. Course opportunities may include English, mathematics, science, social studies, career and technical education, and general education coursework.

Scholar Support

Our Secondary School team works closely with scholars and families throughout the Dual Credit process. Support includes academic advising, course selection guidance, scheduling assistance, progress monitoring, and college and career readiness planning. We are committed to helping scholars make informed decisions that align with their individual goals and future plans.

Preparing Scholars for the Future

At West Virginia Academy, we believe scholars should graduate with opportunities already within reach. The Dual Credit Program is one of the many ways we help scholars prepare for college, careers, and lifelong success while building confidence in their abilities and future potential.
