Kirkwood Career Academy is an exciting chance for high school students to explore careers, get hands-on experience alongside local industry leaders, and learn how to be successful as a college student, all while gaining free college credits while in high school. College Credit in High School (CCHS) classes are dual credit, with students earning credit toward both their high school diploma and future college career simultaneously. Whether a student plans to obtain a 2 or 4-year degree, earn certifications for employment after graduation, or simply wants to “try on” a career to see if it’s a good fit, there is a place for every student at Kirkwood. High schoolers interested in participating in CCHS offerings for the 2024-2025 academic year should begin the process now as career academies fill up quickly.
