Earn college credit while in high school

At Connecticut River Academy (CTRA) your child will get a jump-start on a college career. In addition to a full range of high school courses, students have the opportunity to take college level courses at Goodwin University and earn more than 30 transferable college credits while still in high school. That’s up to one year of college credit tuition free!

There are many benefits of choosing a dual enrollment high school. At Connecticut River Academy we believe the best way to prepare our students for college is by immersing them in a college environment allowing them to fully understand the structure and demands of college-level courses prior to becoming a college student. Students are able to interact with Goodwin University faculty and peers.  More demanding coursework along with a college atmosphere allows students to explore focused pathways within their interest areas and future college careers.

Still wondering how to prepare for college in high school? Interested in a college prep high school education? Contact us today and learn all the benefits that an early college high school could provide your child. It’s never too early to start preparing for this next big step.


75% of CTRA graduates leave with college credit.
