Some Students Will Be Graduating High School And Getting Their Associate’s Degree At The Same Time

As the school year winds down for many across the Delaware Valley, one Philadelphia charter school is celebrating the success of a new program started this year.

Soon, some students will be graduating high school and getting their associate’s degree at the same time.

It’s a new partnership between MaST Community Charter School and the Community College of Philadelphia.

This year, a small group of sophomores was bused to CCP to take college classes during the school day.

It is double the workload, but the students know it will pay off in more ways than one.

The group is looking forward to a well-deserved summer break.

When they graduate from MaST Community Charter School in 2018, they will have also earned enough credits to leave with an Associate’s degree in Business from the Community College of Philadelphia.
