Earn College Credits While in High School: Unlock Your Future at St. John’s Northwestern Academies

DELAFIELD, Wis. – Imagine graduating high school with college credits already on your transcript. At St. John’s Northwestern Academies (SJNA), this vision becomes a reality through our dual enrollment program. In partnership with Marquette University and the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, we offer up to 14 college-level courses, allowing students to earn both high school and college credits simultaneously—all without ever leaving campus.

What Makes SJNA’s Dual Enrollment Program Stand Out?

Earn Credits Without the Pressure of a Single Test: Unlike Advanced Placement (AP) courses, which rely on a final exam to earn college credit, our dual enrollment courses span an entire semester. Students earn credits through regular coursework under the guidance of experienced, university-certified SJNA instructors.

Familiar Environment, Exceptional Quality: All dual enrollment courses are taught by SJNA faculty in our high school classrooms. These instructors are university-certified adjunct professors with Master’s or PhD degrees. This familiar and supportive structure ensures students can excel in college-level academics while still in high school.

Smaller Class Sizes for Maximum Support: With an average of just 15 students per class, our college courses offer personalized instruction that’s hard to find in traditional college lecture halls. This allows students to gain confidence, ask questions, and receive the support they need to thrive.

Why Dual Enrollment at SJNA is Worth It

Cost Savings: A three-credit course through our program costs only $300, compared to $1,067 at a public university or $6,250 at a private university. This means your student can save thousands while earning valuable college credits.

Transferable Credits: All credits earned are recorded on official transcripts from Marquette University or UW Oshkosh and are transferable to universities nationwide. These credits provide a significant head start, no matter where your student plans to attend college.

Familiar Teachers, Proven Success: Your student takes university-level courses in their regular high school classrooms, taught by trusted SJNA faculty. This comfortable and familiar environment makes the transition to college-level academics smoother and more successful.

Take the Next Step Toward Academic Excellence

By offering smaller class sizes, experienced faculty, and partnerships with two prestigious universities, SJNA’s dual enrollment program gives students a competitive edge. With up to 14 college courses available across key subjects like English, Math, Science, and Business, SJNA ensures students graduate high school prepared to succeed in college and beyond.
