This fall, seven Thetford Academy students, in addition to their regular studies at TA, completed a course at Dartmouth College. These students took advantage of Dartmouth’s Community High School Program (CHSP), a unique opportunity for local juniors and seniors to take Dartmouth courses while still in high school - tuition free and for college credit.
