Dual Credit/Dual Enrollment
Header Image
The Academy offers a dual credit/dual enrollment program in partnership with Marymount University in Arlington, VA to afford eligible students to earn college credit.
Dual Credit
Dual credit allows eligible seniors in strong academic standing to fulfill a high school academic requirement while simultaneously earning college credit for a course. These courses are taught on our campus during the school day by Holy Cross faculty members who have achieved adjunct faculty status at Marymount. These credits may be transferable to other colleges and universities, depending upon the school and its policies. As with our AP courses, students enrolled in these courses receive 0.7 additional grade points towards their GPA upon successful completion of the course with a grade of C- or higher.
