OF Dual Credit Classes

Welcome to the Early College Academy (ECA) at The Christian School at Castle Hills. Highly motivated students can earn up to 60+ hours of transferable dual credit classes and possibly graduate from high school with 50% of their college education already behind them by earning dual credit with their high school courses. College credit will be awarded via Colorado Christian University and the University of Texas at Austin through our dual credit partnerships. College courses are also available through Cedarville University, LeTourneau University, and Grand Canyon University.

The Early College Academy courses are taught with a Christian worldview, in keeping with our school’s mission statement of “leading students to know Christ and make Him known” and in keeping with our school’s vision statement of  “developing tomorrow’s servant leaders today.”

Castle Hills has definitely given me an advantage in college. I didn’t realize it at the time, but now I realize that all the prep work I did

in high school was well worth it.

Our daughter was able to transfer 92% of her hours course for course to her degree plan
at her college.
