CollegePlus! Prep
CollegePlus! Prep is the most comprehensive dual credit program ever developed for high school students ages 13-15.
CollegePlus! Prep has revolutionized the concept of combining high school and college by matching your student with a personal advisor of the same gender to mentor them through a streamlined process, helping your student earn 12 college credits which is 10% of a bachelor’s degree.
CollegePlus! Prep transcends just academics—through the Prep program your student becomes fortified with real life applications such as:
- Learn the artistry of critical thinking
- Understand how to view the world biblically
- Develop a dynamic memory
- Identify how to apply logic to life
- Learn effective communication skills
- Master advanced study skills
Prep students also get to work and interact with fellow students through group study opportunities known as “pod” calls. Parents are welcomed and encouraged to participate in Prep “pod” calls.
Prep is the low time and low cost solution parents have been seeking to combine high school and college, without having to send their children to liberal college campuses, or having to use government-funded programs.

Integrates with your current curriculum:
The beauty of CollegePlus! Prep is that it works seamlessly with your current curriculum plan. By design, the Prep program takes just 1 hour a day.
During the phase when your student is preparing to take the exams to earn their college credit, their study time to pass the exam may exceed 1 hour per day. This exam preparation phase is at the very end of the Prep program.
The Collegiate Consultant you get paired with will help you blend the Prep program with your current curriculum by mapping out a comprehensive plan designed not to disrupt your schedule or cause parent/child disharmony.
Earning college credit:
The final phase of the program spans a course of five weeks and is when Prep students tap into their newly found skills of critical thinking, dynamic memory, and logic to confidently prepare to earn their college credit.
For some students, the final phase of Prep may require a student to spend 4-5 hours per day preparing to earn their 12 college credits.
The good news—CollegePlus! Prep is the only dual credit program that offers students access to a cutting-edge online test preparation system. Prep students get free and unlimited access to this test preparation system which carries an amazing 99.2% pass rate.
Although the final phase may require more than 1 hour a day, by using this advanced test preparation system, Prep students can maximize study time and boost their confidence, giving them a high probability of passing the two required exams to earn their 12 college credits.
AP or CollegePlus! Prep?
Is earning college credit through AP better than CollegePlus! Prep? In an AP course, even if a student passes the difficult AP final exam, they must attend one semester and then petition the college in order to get the college to accept the AP course as college credit.
CollegePlus! Prep offers a better way—where AP courses often frustrate students and leave them feeling isolated and nervous, Prep provides the personalized mentoring and group study opportunities to build confidence in your student so they can earn their 12 college credits.
According to studies done on the exam pass rates of AP students, it's estimated just 56.5% of AP students pass their exam. Prep students crush the AP pass rate—the most current stats reveal that 92.3% of Prep students pass their exam to earn their college credit. Exam pass rates are a key benchmark in dual crediting. Compared to AP students, Prep students are more confident and better equipped to pass the exams required to earn college credit.
How Prep benefits your student:
- Works harmoniously with your current curriculum
- Fully guided program with a detailed syllabus and advisor accountability

The power of mentorship for parents and students:
