College Credit/Placement

College Credit

Under a dual enrollment program, Sacred Heart students may take courses through the St. John's University Extension Program, the Long Island High School Program of Adelphi University and the High School Program at Molloy College.

This enables the academy to offer optional college credit for an additional fee at the same time a student is earning high school credit for her SHA diploma. Transfer of the credit may be sought at other colleges according to the procedures of the admitting college/university.

Courses are offered in English, Spanish, French, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Music. For program requirements, registration information, costs and credit equivalencies, please contact Sacred Heart Academy.
