CLEP
Thomas Jefferson Academy has a unique partnership with Modern States Educational Alliance, a New York based non-profit whose goal is to make college education more affordable. Through Modern States, our students may apply for vouchers to cover the cost of their CLEP test. Passing the CLEP test can earn the student college credit hours if the college or university accepts the CLEP test. It is a great way to graduate with less debt.
