Obridge Academy, in partnership with St. Joseph’s College, is happy to offer these three courses for college credit. College courses are more demanding than high school courses, but the rewards can also be greater. In the comfort of your own home, or favorite café, you can learn a new language, listen to the greats of western music, or improve your writing and critical reading skills.

Most colleges accept transfer credits and these three courses could be your introduction to your college career. (You should always check with the college you hope to attend to make sure they will accept credits from other institutions.)
