Each semester, Endicott College runs an evening class online for NHS students.

The fall semester course is announced in August, the spring semester course in January, and the summer semester course in April. Each course is free for students; however, students are responsible for paying any required fees for books and/or materials.

We are thankful to the Newburyport Education Foundation for solidifying this partnership.

Students may take college-level courses during the school day at Northern Essex Community College (NECC) in Haverhill and earn both high school and college credit. Each semester-long course is worth 2.5 AP credits at Newburyport High School.

To participate, students typically need flexibility in their schedule and must provide their own transportation to and from NECC. Some courses are available remotely; students can explore available options on the NECC website.

To apply and register, students must meet with their school counselor. Counselors will help determine if a dual enrollment course can fit into the student’s schedule and assist with any necessary adjustments. Please note that dual enrollment courses cannot be used to replace required core curriculum or graduation requirement classes. The cost for one course is $540. This price does not include required books and/or materials for the course.

For more information, see: Dual Enrollment Presentation Information and NECC Application Link

In addition to submitting the NECC application, students may be required to complete English and/or Math assessments prior to enrolling in a course.

Over the past year, some of our teachers have been accepted as adjunct faculty for the SNHU in the High School Program. These teachers are able to teach an approved SNHU class at Newburyport High School.

Students enrolled in an SNHU class at Newburyport High School can register and earn college credit at $100 per 3 undergraduate credits (an additional $25 if a lab fee is involved). Students will be informed of available SNHU classes.
