Give Yourself Some Credit
The High School Honors Performance Series has been accredited by George Mason University. Upon successful completion of the program, you have the opportunity to receive one college credit issued by George Mason.

Alternatively, our partnership with WorldStrides (an accredited school) allows Finalists the opportunity to enroll in a Musical Performance course and earn 0.5 (one semester) elective high school credit upon successful completion of the coursework at no additional cost, or up to 3 college credits for a small additional cost. You can register before, during, or even after you travel to New York. Coursework is reflective in nature and is designed to be completed after you return home.
