Calvary Episcopal Preparatory (CEP) has a reputation and tradition for strong academics. This year, CEP enhanced their dual-credit opportunities by offering on-site options through Houston Baptist University (HBU).
Students who have shown great aptitude in English and social sciences in grades six through 12 have an opportunity to enroll in a dual-enrollment course through HBU. The students are taking English 1320: Writing for Wisdom I: Greeks, Romans and Early Christianity.
According to the course syllabus, “The Academy at Houston Baptist University exists to extend the challenge and rewards of university style classes to Houston area high school students, providing them with the opportunity to earn transferable college credit along the way. Each class is designed to immerse the student in an essential era or theme in western history, literature, philosophy and culture through reading of the original texts that shaped the world. Writing for Wisdom I: Greeks, Romans and Early Christianity teaches the fundamentals of college reading, thinking and writing from a classical, Christian perspective.”
Calvary currently has 10 students participating in this endeavor, and the on-site professor is Kris Yee. CEP is pleased to be able to offer this opportunity to students.
