ROOTED
CHC's Dual Credit Academics & Discipleship Program
Rooted is a Dual Credit program for students in 10th through 12th grade and allows students to earn both high school and college credit simultaneously through Colorado Christian University. CCU-Academy is a well-established program used by over 200 schools for in person Dual Credit, as well as over 700 individual online dual credit students.
A Blending of Academics
and Discipleship
Rooted seeks to deliver quality education that has been sown in and grown from the soil of a Biblically centered worldview. It accomplishes this through its unique combination of academics and discipleship, allowing high school students to earn college credits while growing in their knowledge and experience of God.
Academics
Students can expect distinct, meaningful, and high-class coursework offered by Colorado Christian University and taught from a Christian worldview.
Course Duration
Each semester runs for 15 weeks, beginning in late August and January. Students may enroll in 2 to 5 courses per semester. Completed courses count as credit toward both high school graduation (for homeschool students) and college transcripts.
Course Format
Courses are delivered in a blend of formats, including in-person instruction and both asynchronous and synchronous online learning.
Earn a Degree
Full-time students have the opportunity to pursue an Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree, which can be completed in 2 to 3 years, depending on their chosen pace.
Discipleship
Rooted Discipleship is a year-long course that students will take alongside CCU’s curriculum and is designed to help students grow in their relationship with Jesus through time, teaching, relationships, and hands-on ministry.
Leadership
Rooted Discipleship is specially designed for high school students and will be led by Pastors Aaron and Anna Cyboron, along with CHC Director Leah Rixmann.
Content
Students will meet weekly with their Rooted Cohort to study God’s Word and character, explore identity and purpose in Christ, and grow in spiritual maturity.
Students will also participate in monthly ministry and learning events, offering opportunities to live out their faith and connect with believers across various spheres of business and ministry.
Missions
The program will culminate with a 10–14 day mission trip in June, providing students with a transformative, hands-on experience in service and outreach.
Tuition Information
CHC’s parternship with CCU affords students and their families substantial savings on college credits when compared to traditional college tuition. Credits are transferable to most universities.
CCU Credit Costs
Please inquire at CHC for tuition costs.
AA Degrees and Transfer Credits
CCU- Academy will accept transfer credits, (up to 75% of an AA) from other dual credit programs.
AA degrees are available through CCU (60 credits) and would necessitate 15 credits per semester.
Rooted Discipleship Program
The rooted program includes the full discipleship program, which also fulfills a 3-credit Bible course.
End-of-Course Missions Trip Costs
The total costs for Rooted’s mission trip are not factored into Rooted’s initial cost.
Class Information
CHC is beyond excited to integrate CCU’s content with our own, as CCU-Academy is a well-established program used by over 200 schools for in person dual credit and by over 700 students for online dual credit.
