DUAL CREDIT COURSES
Dual Credit
Students at Midland Christian School may take dual credit classes in English, Speech, and Math. Midland Christian offers ENGL 1301 and 1302 (Composition 1 and 2) during a student's Junior year and ENGL 2301 and 2302 (British Literature 1 and 2) during a student's Senior year. Seniors may also take SPCH 1315(Public Speaking) and MATH 1314/1342 (College Algebra & Statistics)
Other Midland College classes may be taken throughout the year and will count toward college credit, but not high school credit. If your child would like to add an online class either during the long semester or summer session, please email Geta Mitchell at gmitchell@midlandchristianschool.org with that course selection.
