Dual Credit for Calvert Academy and College
Calvert students can choose from general college-level courses like English Composition and take one or two college credit courses per semester at a fraction of the cost of attending a college in person. Courses may be taken at a local college/university or students may choose to complete an online course through Sophia.
All dual credit courses MUST be approved by administration BEFORE the student begins any dual credit course.

Prepare for Higher Education

Teaching independent skills, dual credit courses require self-motivation to work with other classmates, meet deadlines, and communicate with professors.

Save on College Tuition

By avoiding room and board fees, juniors and seniors at Calvert Academy can earn up to two full years of college credit at a fraction of the cost of attending a college.

Earn College Credit

Students can plan ahead to earn college credits that also satisfy high school graduation requirements. For each 3-credit or 4-credit course, students earn 1 Calvert credit.

*Juniors and seniors with a GPA of 2.75 or higher and a minimum ACT or SAT score are eligible to participate in the dual credit program. If a student chooses not to attend the partner college, he or she may negotiate a transfer of dual credits to their college of choice upon high school graduation. Calvert Academy recommends that you check with your college of choice to determine how the transfer of credits will be handled.
