A2C Accelerate to College

Accelerate 2 College program

WHAT IS A2C?

The Accelerate 2 College program gives high school students the opportunity to prepare for the college learning experience. Through A2C, students can take developmental English and mathematics courses in the high school classroom, taught by a high school teacher. After successfully completing an A2C class, students will be considered college ready at Jefferson and can qualify to take dual credit courses.
