so Flying Star is life Christians approach to dual enrollment courses if we're talk what about the public sector people are more familiar with the term running start but since we're Eagles we're going to fly high and we have agreements with multiple colleges where our students can truly enroll in the college's online classes and at the same time they're earning college credit for that work there also earning credit towards their High School graduation from Life Christian advantage to participating in Flying Star is that students get to earn some college credit early and at a dramatically reduced rate for example the main school that are students request is Southeastern University a Christian College in Lakeland Florida they're offering our students those college credits for about $137 per credit we're even at public schools in Washington state those college credits are four or five times that cost so the students save money and at the same time get a jump start on school which may allow them take a little bit lighter load as they he's in the college process or even stack up so many credit that they can have the room to do a study abroad during their college experience and still grow wait on time or they may even have a good start on their associates degree if that's a priority for them getting into the flying Start program is fairly simple and it just begins with an email to my office so Jamie bustle Meyer dean of academic guidance and then from there I'll share the the links to whatever college is going to match the most of that student students generally need to have at least a 3.0 GPA and be a sophomore or higher and standing here at Life Christian before they participate and they sell out of an expedited application to the college it only takes about 10 or 15 minutes and then the college confirmed with me that there is a candidate for the program and from there they are free to register for any online offering that doesn't have a prerequisite and has room in the course so we have students taking classes and everything from Advanced music-theory to deep biblical topics on to a basic English 101 class or whatever really fits their interest level one last thing. our families know about flying start is that this summer we will be able to add Baylor University that's right Baylor from Texas to our list of schools available to our students and their classes are specifically tailored for the summer so that if a student wants some time to just really deeply delve into a subject they can do that without the worry of balancing all of their regular school responsibilities
