Battle Ground Public Schools partners with Central Washington University and Clark College to offer free college credits for specific courses taught at BGHS, PHS and River HomeLink.

• You can take certain classes at school and earn free college credits!

• These credits will show up on both your high school and college records.

• They are accepted by all public colleges in Washington, but you should check with other schools just in case.

• You can earn college credit by passing an AP test that you take in May, but there is a fee to take the test.

• Taking the AP class will help you get ready, but you do not have to be in the class to take the test.

• Always ask the college you want to attend if they will accept your AP credit.

• More information about required test scores and the transferability of credits is on The College Board website.

• If you are in 11th or 12th grade, you can take college classes and get both high school and college credit at the same time.

• If you qualify for free or reduced-price school meals, you won't have to pay for this program.

• This program is a great way to start college early!

• Fee waivers are available for students who qualify for free or reduced-price school meals.

• This program is for 11th and 12th graders who want hands-on training for high-demand jobs.

• You can earn college credit and certifications that show you are ready for a job that pays well.

• You will spend half the day at the Vancouver campus for either one or two years of study.

In addition to learning technical skills, students can participate in work-based-learning in several fields of study.
