The advantages of this program have been well-tested and are highly commended by our students and their parents:
“Just registered for my classes for next semester a little while ago. Thank you, ABS, for the 15 hours of Dual Credit that allowed me to register early and get the classes I wanted at the times I wanted.” (Tyler Moss, ‘12, National Merit Finalist, University of Alabama).
“Already having college credit hours for Maryn as she registered for Freed-Hardeman classes was such a blessing. We saved a lot of money and she was able to get a jump start on getting her degree. We are so thankful for the opportunity she had to take the classes and the quality of education she received within them” (Laurie Johnson, parent, ‘13).
“ABS certainly prepared me for college in several important ways. Academically, the small class sizes and personalized attention helped me build the intellectual foundation necessary for college. The ABS faculty and staff worked to help me become a National Merit Finalist and a University Fellow at the University of Alabama. My experience at ABS definitely helped to shape my college experience.” (Jonathan Pittman, ‘07, National Merit Finalist, University of Alabama)
