More Education - Better Value

RedCliff families will get more value for their tuition dollars thanks to revisions in our educational curriculum.

Working in tandem with our sister program, Discovery Academy, faculty members analyzed field work and determined RedCliff students could earn three credit hours, or an entire semester’s worth of credit, with some minor revisions to our curriculum.

With these changes in place, RedCliff students will now earn one half credit in six different elective curriculums. Those electives are:

.5 creditsLanguage Arts
.5 creditsPhysical Education
.5 creditsFood/Nutrition
.5 creditsInterpersonal Communication
.5 creditsOutdoor Education
.5 creditsHealth & Fitness

RedCliff students are now enrolled in those electives through Discovery Academy. Upon completion of their wilderness experience, they receive an official transcript, issued by Discovery Academy, listing three credit hours, or one semester’s worth of academic work.

There are two major benefits to this system. First, it allows RedCliff students to receive legitimate academic credit for their field work. For students who may have been falling behind in school prior to their enrollment at RedCliff, this approach will prevent them from losing any further academic ground. Students who are current in their schoolwork will be able to hit the ground running when they return.

Second, having an official transcript will make it easier for families to transfer credits to other academic settings.

Stretching family resources farther with expanded academic credit is one more way RedCliff Ascent continues to offer therapeutic excellence at an exceptional value.
