College
Preparatory Course of Study
The Summit Christian OnLine
Academy's college preparatory course of study is designed to prepare
students for entrance into most universities and colleges. However,
because each college or university has its own entrance
requirements, the student will want to consult with the school of
his or her choice in order to tailor a high school program which
meets the specific requirements of that institution.
General
Course of Study
While some colleges and
universities will accept students having a general course of study
diploma, Summit Christian OnLine Academy's general course diploma does
not represent the same scope or rigor characteristic of the college
preparatory course of study. A student earning the general course
diploma possesses credentials enabling them to attend community
college, some vocational or technical schools, and possibly some
universities.
