Receive college credits in high school at Greenhouse Christian Co-school

Greenhouse Christian Co-School in Wheaton, IL has partnered with Colorado Christian University (CCU) to begin offering dual credits in the fall of 2021. Greenhouse Rhetoric students who complete coursework for History or Literature in their junior or senior years are eligible to receive college credit. Our 11th grade history will be credited as Western Civilization (HIST 185) and 12th grade history will be credited as Birth of the Modern World (HIST 186) by CCU. Our 11th grade literature will be credited as British Lit 1 (ENG 204) and British Lit 2 (ENG 205). The 12th grade literature will be credited as Intro to Literature (ENG 201) with the thesis class credited as Research Writing (ENG 104). For each CCU class, a student will receive 3 college credits.

About 65-75% of our juniors and seniors participate in the dual credit program. Greenhouse hopes to offer more dual credit courses in the future. These credits can be transferable to other colleges and universities who offer similar history courses, but it is important to check with those institutions.

The Greenhouse Rhetoric high school program has been preparing students for college academics for many years. This program validates the quality of the academic program. Transferring dual enrollment credits to accredited institutions can reduce overall college costs and shorten time to graduate.
