Are you wondering if you have what it takes to make it in College? Are you concerned about the rising cost of college? College Bridge allows you to enroll in courses at local colleges and universities.

For each course taken, you will earn both high school elective credit and transferable college credit. Courses meet on the college campuses outside of the regular school day – they can be
scheduled in the late afternoon, early evening, on Saturdays or during the summer.

The costs of tuition, textbooks, materials and laboratory fees are entirely covered by CPS and are free for you! With the rising cost of college, College Bridge gives you the opportunity to experience college life and earn college credit before you’ve graduated high school without paying a dime.
