Our school offers concurrent credit for some classes through a partnership with a couple of local 4-year state universities. It mentions that the universities are accredited by the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships. Our materials also state that if you plan on attending college other than the two choices, to check with the respective colleges.
Our kids get credit for $50 per course. With the exception of foreign language classes, the courses are all AP classes as well. Their purpose is to help high-achieving low-income kids (who may do well in class but not test well in an AP exam) get through one of the local colleges with as little debt as possible, perhaps even with an associate’s degree upon HS completion. I definitely wouldn’t pay $325 to get college credit for an algebra/trig course for a student who intends to pursue a four-year degree out of state. The other two are more questionable.
One thing to note - if this teacher isn’t all that great, there is the potential for up to two problems. (1) he may not be getting a class rigorous enough to prepare him for the next level in college and/or (2) he may end up with a grade he doesn’t want on his transcript. Personally, I wouldn’t pay $325 per course for something that may not benefit him if he doesn’t attend that college.
