CLEP
What is CLEP? CLEP stands for College-Level Examination Program. Students who take tests in the various subject areas (see list below) and receive a passing score (50 or better) can receive general education credits, being awarded 3-6 credits, or even more per exam!
Grace Academy is privileged to offer these exams as we are one of only a handful of high schools in the country that are allowed to offer the CLEP. We also consider it a great advantage to our students to take these exams. CLEP exams allow our secondary students to receive college credits and still benefit from a fully Christian education as well as enjoy their high school experience. Having received general education credits can also shorten their college years resulting in the potential savings of thousands of dollars in college tuition.
