Accelerator Courses for rising 10th, 11th, and 12th graders
Accelerator courses for 10th- through 12th-graders will be conducted over three weeks. The first two weeks of each course take place online. During the third week of each course, students will reside on campus to interact with their instructor and other students in Durham or Morganton, NC.
The fee for Accelerator (10th – 12th) is $1,925. You may register for more than one course, but each course is its own Accelerator program.
Courses marked “Full” have a waitlist, and applications are still being accepted.
