Juda High School students can earn college credits

JUDA - Juda High School is partnering with the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and its Cooperative Academic Partnership Program (CAPP) to offer high school students the opportunity to earn college credits.

Through concurrent enrollment in Juda High School and UW-Oshkosh, students receive both high school and college credit for successfully complete the course. The course is the same course taught at UW-Oshkosh, but offered by Juda High School teachers in the high school setting.

Juda's first course will be college calculus; students who successfully complete the CAPP course will earn four college credits. The credits earned through CAPP are accepted at all UW schools and most other colleges.

UW-Oshkosh charges CAPP students approximately 40 percent of what tuition would cost a traditional student on campus.

More information is available by contacting Scott Anderson at sa@judaschool.com.
