College Prep

Dual Enrollment and Advancement Placement Courses

TCA recognizes the importance of a college preparatory environment for students. With a 100% college acceptance rate, Trinity Christian Academy is fully committed to providing an academically excellent program that prepares each student for success in the future.

Students at TCA can start earning college credit as early as their sophomore year. There are two different methods for obtaining college credit during a student’s high school years: Dual Enrollment and Advancement Placement. While TCA offers both options for its high school students, the majority of our college course offerings are considered Dual Enrollment.

  • Helps student accelerate educational goals, adapt to collegiate work gradually, and increase the rigor of course offerings during their high school years
