{"A":"Goochland County Public Schools","B":"Advance College Academy","C":"With annual tuition ranging between $9,000 and $23,000, attending a public, 4-year college in Virginia can add up quickly for students and their families. In Goochland County Public Schools, students can earn up to 60 credit hours before graduation in the division’s Advance College Academy (ACA) – greatly reducing the steep cost of a college degree.  ACA is a partnership between GCPS and Reynolds Community College and is open to students with a 3.0-grade-point average or higher who have taken Algebra I by the ninth grade. Courses are taught by certified Goochland High School teachers and include the same content as courses taught on the community college campus. In ACA, students can take rigorous college courses in a supportive environment and can earn an associate degree prior to high school graduation. This opens up options such as graduating early, double majoring, taking a lighter load each semester, or studying abroad.
