College in Schools collaboration

College in the Schools held its annual in-service Aug. 23 at the Brainerd campus of Central Lakes College, with about 200 instructors, counselors, and adminstrators from 31 partnering school districts attending a full day of collaboration. CIS gives high schoolan an opportunity to strengthen their academic course offerings while providing juniors and seniors a jump-start on earning college credit. Classes are approved by CLC collborative instructors to esure academic rigor, but the classes are held on home campuses of the partnering school districts. Upon high school graduation, students who have participated in the CIS program make a smooth transition to a college setting. Schools are providing college-level courses in subjects such as science, math, sociology, history, political science, physical education, visual art, and music. High school students save thousands of dollars in tuition and develop skills essential for college success.
