Dual-Credit through Indiana University
At Lutheran High School, sophomores, juniors and seniors can be eligible to take dual-credit (ACP) classes and earn credits from IU. Our teachers are adjunct professors and spend many hours each year in training, evaluation, and offering these courses to high-achieving students. We selected the IU Dual-Credit program because of its academic rigor and the ability for these credits to be easily recognized by any university and easily transferred. When students take IU classes at Lutheran High School, they get to keep the grade they earn on their college transcript. These classes are small in size (average class size, 12 students).
We currently offer the following IU classes at Lutheran High School:
ACP American History (6 credits)
ACP Biology (5 credits)
ACP Chemistry (5 credits)
ACP Discovering Literature (3 credits)
ACP Literary Interpretations (3 credits)
ACP Oral and Public Communications (3 credits)
ACP Political Science (3 credits)
ACP Pre-Calculus (3 credits)
ACP Reading, Writing, Inquiry (3 credits)
ACP Trigonometry (3 credits)
Additional Dual Credit classes will be offered soon, including Spanish, Art History, and Calculus (currently available as AP).
Advanced Placement Classes (AP)
AP Classes are taught at a college level and pace, and students take an exam in the Spring. Depending upon how they do on the test, various colleges may offer credits for taking these classes. For more information, ask the particular college or visit the College Board's AP Credit policy search tool. LHS provides AP classes such as AP Calculus and AP Physics.
