Concurrent College Credits

Over ninety-five percent of Dayspring graduates attend college. We prepare each student for their future with four years of advanced academics, ACT prep courses, community service opportunities, missions work, and the chance to earn college credit. Our students move on to pursue further education at major universities in and out of state, Christian colleges, and trade schools. Students also pursue work in missions fields and the military after graduation.

Concurrent or dual credit courses are offered at Dayspring Christian Academy (DCA) to help students to achieve at a higher level as well as to earn and receive college credit while enrolled in high school at Dayspring.

Our current Dual-Enrollment Classes are taught in conjunction with Colorado Christian University.  Qualified students can opt to enroll in:

  • College Composition
  • College American Literature
  • College British Literature
  • College Pre-Calculus
  • College Calculus
  • College Biology
  • Foundations of Faith
  • Spiritual Formation
Students can also take classes offered through Aims – either online or onsite.  Students have taken college courses in:
  • Statistics
  • Colorado History
  • College Algebra
  • Audio Technology
  • Conversational Spanish

Other options include Dual-Enrollment Classes offered online through GCU (Grand Canyon University).

WHO: Dayspring’s partner in this venture, Colorado Christian University (CCU), is fully accredited and charges only 200.00 per class for credit in these courses. Because CCU is accredited, the courses are transferrable to most other colleges and universities.

WHY: When students earn college credits while in high school, when they get to college there are several benefits: 1). Students can finish their foundational courses in college sooner and move into courses related to their major area of study more quickly, 2). When students take more difficult courses in college, they can take fewer classes so they can keep their grades up, because they earned some college credits while in high school. 3). Students can complete their college degree in four years, thus avoiding the costly expense of the fifth year.
