If at first you don’t succeed…. Christopher Hiscock learned about dual credits when he was attending the Angus Alternative School. He was excited about the opportunity to take a college credit that would count towards his secondary diploma.  But the first course he chose didn’t suit him, and he dropped out.

Participating in this Dual Credit has been a great experience for me. It made earning a credit a lot easier for me and the environment made me feel a lot more at ease. It also helped me a bit with my social anxiety. Participating in this has also helped me further myself in my art. […]

I chose to take the “blueprint reading” dual credit program mainly because of the course content; such a course is not offered at my school at the high-school level. The only challenge I have encountered thus far is having no previous knowledge of the course content. The skill-set I have gained from the course has […]
