Credit acceleration courses are available for current high school students interested in taking a course for the first time for original course credit. These acceleration courses contain the full course content and require a greater time commitment from the student. Only a limited selection of courses for acceleration are available online through CAOLA or Schoology, and these courses will be monitored by West Shore staff.
