Who Is This Program For?

This program is a great fit for students who are motivated, curious, and ready to explore a path toward college credit.

We especially encourage students to choose a CLEP subject that aligns with what they are already studying in school.


Suggested Subject Pathways

College Algebra

Recommended for students currently enrolled in Algebra 2


Spanish

Recommended for students currently enrolled in Spanish 2 or higher


College English

Recommended for students in 11th or 12th grade


Psychology

If a student is currently taking Psychology as a high school elective, this is an excellent opportunity to prepare for the CLEP exam and potentially earn college credit for knowledge they are already gaining.


Why This Matters

Families often do not realize that there are legitimate ways for students to earn college credit before graduating from high school.

Through Modern States, students can access coursework that helps them prepare for CLEP exams. With the right support, this pathway can help students:

This is not just about test prep. This is about access.

Why St. Charles Tutoring Lab Is Offering This

We know that many students need more than information. They need structure, encouragement, accountability, and someone to help them connect the dots.

CLEP Camp was created to be that bridge.

At St. Charles Tutoring Lab, we want students to see that college readiness is not only for a small group of students. It can begin earlier, with purpose, and with support.
