Why College Now?
My Philosophy on Offering Higher Art Education during the High School Years.
It is an exceptional opportunity to be able to offer our students here at ACGC the chance to earn college credit while still in high school - and particularly awesome that Art college credits are an option! ACGC art students are leaders in the state of Minnesota in that they don't shy away from the challenge of more rigorous and challenging course work. It is not uncommon for an ACGC senior to be carrying more than a few college level courses in their daily schedule. In addition to the college level art course available, students here are also offered Math, English, Spanish, and Business courses. What is impressive is they do all of this while still being able to be involved with sports and other extracurricular activities. Many students also hold down jobs beyond school hours. Needless to say, they are impressive people.
The beauty of being a College Now student is that students can remain in the social circle that is high school yet still be challenged at the level they demand academically. Prom, Homecoming, eating lunch with friends.....none of these things are sacrificed. Our students can remain on ACGC campus and get their high school experience but are given the opportunity to excel and take their education to the next level by the opportunity to sign up for college level courses.
ACGC students shine! We are proud to be doing great things here in our district. Being in the College Now program at ACGC is an investment in yourself as a student now and an investment in your future as a professional in your career.
