Earning College Credits
The Chatham Charter academic program builds to the upperclassmen years when juniors and seniors take dual enrollment, transferable college credits through the tuition-free North Carolina Career and College Promise (CCP). The rigorous program, paired with how Chatham Charter carefully maximizes opportunities for its students to be able to take courses, allows the majority of students to complete a CCP Pathway. By the time they graduate, Chatham Charter students earn an average of 32 transferable college credits through the Career & College Promise. Courses are taken in partnership with Central Carolina Community College (CCCC).
