Prepare for Higher Education

Teaching independent skills, dual credit courses require students to be self-motivated, work with 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.

Dual Credit for Calvert Academy and College
Dual credit students register through Calvert Academy. Students are charged the regular tuition rate for the course. No additional fees apply to dual credit courses. Calvert Academy partners with Jacksonville University through TEL. The academy will aid students with the additional steps to enroll the student in a dual credit course at the college level. Students then work directly with the partner college’s teachers for instruction and assignments. Dual credit courses may be taken online through Jacksonville University, or through a local college/university*.
** *All dual credit courses outside of Calvert’s partner institution Jacksonville University, MUST be approved by administration BEFORE the student begins any dual credit course.
