What Our Student
Say About Us

Maddison H
My experience as a dual-enrolled student at Grace allowed me to dip my toe into the waters of the college experience. I was able to adjust to college through a steady introduction of classes prior to becoming a freshman. This experience helped me gain confidence in my abilities and encouraged my excitement to begin my college career. I learned quickly that Grace was somewhere I could thrive, and from this encouragement, I came prepared and excited to invest myself in the community and appreciate these next steps in my life and education.

Doing dual enrollment at Grace did a great service to me personally, professionally, and academically. Being able to take a college course while still in high school allowed me to learn how to interact with my peers in a college setting, how to communicate with professors, and prepared me for the more rigorous coursework that comes with college-level academia.

Dual-enrolling at Grace was a great way to get a taste of the college experience before being immersed in full-time classes or on-campus living. It made me realize that Grace was the school for me and gave me familiarity with the campus and comfortability with the staff and faculty before I started as a full-time student.

Dual Enrollment saved me a ton of money, since I was able to get an entire semester of credits done for free while I was still in high school. Dual Enrollment made my first official semester much easier since I already knew the campus layout and had already met many staff and students.
