Looking For a Move On When Ready Option That Is All On Line?

Georgia Military College offers Move On When Ready on-line college courses to Social Circle High School students who have at least a 2.5 cumulative average, and a qualifying test score (see the 1st attachment). These classes can substitute for a class that is being taken at SCHS and earn credit at both institutions.  This is a really good option that is built for dependable students who take care of business.

On August 25th, GMC will be with us to test students on the COMPASS (an acceptable substitute for the SAT or ACT to GMC) for anyone who is interested in participating in this program.  If you or your student are interested in them taking the COMPASS, the 2nd link to register is provided below. YOU MUST REGISTER TO TAKE THE TEST BY August 23rd, 2016.
