Franciscan High School Advantage

Save time and money while earning credit through academically excellent and passionately Catholic classes and formation!

The Chesterton Schools Network and Franciscan University of Steubenville have formed a partnership that provides Chesterton high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to earn significant credit towards their college educations—at an extremely affordable rate. Students earn credit by taking the Chesterton Academy theology and philosophy courses that are aligned with Franciscan University’s curriculum and successfully completing college-level examinations.

This collaboration between Franciscan University and the Chesterton Schools Network serves the intellectual and spiritual needs of students, families and communities while simultaneously ensuring affordable Catholic education.

Students enrolling in the Franciscan Advantage program can earn up to 36 credits prior to high school graduation. These credits can be counted toward completion of an undergraduate degree at Franciscan, and, in many cases, are transferrable to other colleges and universities. An additional benefit to students is access to ‘Franciscan Life Online’ to help foster a vibrant sense of community amongst learners.
