Kenyon Academic Partnership |
The KENYON ACADEMIC PARTNERSHIP is an early college program in which 32 central and northern Ohio public and independent secondary schools offer various Kenyon College introductory level courses on their own campuses. The program not only permits students to earn college placement and credit before leaving high school but imitates as closely as possible a college environment in the nature and scope of reading, writing, and laboratory assignments, and the process or atmosphere of a college class.
Kenyon's standards in the courses are maintained in a number of ways: teachers in the schools are appointed by Kenyon, departmental representatives from the college visit and evaluate classes in the schools, course materials and methods are developed jointly by teachers from Kenyon and the schools, teachers exchange student written work for cross-grading exercises, and admission of a student to a course requires acceptance by Kenyon.
Nearly 1,000 students are enrolled in KAP courses each year. These are taught by 98 KAP teachers at 32 participating KAP schools in central and northern Ohio.
The program offers courses in all areas of academic inquiry including work in Color& Design, Digital Art, Drawing & Design, European and American History,African American History, English Literature, Political Science, French, Spanish, Psychology, Latin, Physics, Statistics, Biology, Computer Science, Chemistry and Calculus.
The program is supported by student fees and annual fees from the participating schools. A scholarship program is available to assist eligible students.
