Good Afternoon, Rocket Families!🚀
This is Erika Bower, Superintendent of Ridgedale Local Schools. As part of our commitment to college and career readiness, did you know that students can take courses not only at colleges like MTC and OSUM, but also through Modern States? These free online classes are taught by professors from world-class universities and cover the same material found in freshman-level college courses.
Students who complete a Modern States course can take the corresponding College Level Examination Program (CLEP) exam…at no cost. CLEP exams are accepted for credit by nearly 3,000 colleges and universities nationwide. Learners can work at their own pace, using the learning style that suits them best. All required course materials, including digital textbooks and assessment resources, are also completely free.
We’re proud that Ridgedale is a CLEP testing center, making this opportunity even more accessible for our students!
We are excited to welcome our students back tomorrow and hope everyone had an opportunity to spend valuable time with their loved ones.
