GCS High School students who have performed at a consistently high academic level have the opportunity to earn college credits through our Dual Enrollment and Career & College Promise Programs.
Through a partnership program with The College of Southeastern, GCS students can receive college credit concurrently for the work done in their high school classes at Grace Christian School, under Southeastern-approved syllabi and the guidance of Southeastern faculty.
Students gain exposure to the academic challenges of college while remaining in their supportive GCS environment. Each successfully passed course earns the student transcripted college credit. This concurrent enrollment partnership differs from other models of dual enrollment because high school instructors teach the college courses. Concurrent enrollment classes will be taken on the campus of partnering high schools taught by high school teachers.
The College at Southeastern is a school of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, an accredited institution awarding associate, baccalaureate, masters, and doctorate degrees. The college offers 17 majors and 19 minors. It stands by principles of academic excellence and spiritual growth; development in Christian Leadership and Biblical Worldview; and a commitment to affordable tuition.
Wake Forest, NC is home to the approximately 300-acre campus of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and The College at Southeastern.
