The partnership between Central Consolidated School District (CCSD), ASU Prep Global, and the ASU Accelerate program brings expanded academic opportunities to high school students by providing access to flexible, college-level coursework. Through ASU Accelerate, students can enroll in university courses taught by ASU faculty without the need for applications or placement tests, allowing them to earn college credit while still in high school. These credits are recorded by Arizona State University and those credits are designed to transfer to many higher education institutions nationwide, giving students a valuable head start on their college journey. The program’s no-risk model also ensures that unconverted courses do not appear on a student’s transcript, supporting academic exploration without penalty.

This collaboration enhances educational access and equity across the district by offering high-quality, online learning experiences that are personalized to student interests and goals. ASU Prep Global supports CCSD with flexible instructional solutions, helping to address staffing gaps and meet diverse learning needs. By combining rigorous academics with adaptable learning formats, the partnership equips students with the skills and confidence needed to succeed in college and beyond.
