The College Before Graduation Program allows students to earn college and high school credits simultaneously. At New Vista, this often means the opportunity to take Front Range Community courses on the New Vista Campus, or at the CU Campus just up the road, or on the FRCC campus.
FRCC Courses offered at New Vista High School include: Western Civ-Antiquities-1650; US History Since Civil War; Astronomy 101; Geography, Weather & Climate; Math for Liberal Arts, Pre-Calc, Creative Writing, Intro to Lit.
Students may significantly reduce their college expenses, increase the likelihood that they will complete college, and earn marketable workforce skills by taking college credit courses while in high school. BVSD offers a variety of ways for students to earn these free college credits.
Please view the BVSD College Before Graduation Website and BVSD Board Policies IGCD/IGCD-R for more details on the program, deadlines, and enrollment procedures as well as the tuition costs. Another resource is the Colorado Dept. of Education (CDE) Website. All courses must be approved by the student's high school principal and counselor.
