Eligible high schoolers can earn college credit online, the first class is free (not including books and course materials), and they get a significant discount ($166 per credit vs. $613 per credit) for every subsequent class. They can choose from more than 30 available courses. Here are just a few additional details not included on the flier:

    • This program is open to third-culture kids, homeschool students, private and public school students, etc.
    • Students can start during any eight-week session – summer, fall, spring, each semester has two sessions as indicated on the flier
    • The first-class free offer is limited. I do not yet know for how long, but we should market it as temporary for now.
    • Many students have successfully completed courses during their normal school year. Classes are asynchronous, so they can access course materials at their convenience.
    • Sometimes universities have similar programs and they make classes specific for high school students – HS students sitting with other HS students. In our program, participants sit in on real college courses, with actual college student peers. They get the real deal through our experience.
