Bayfront is a proud partner of Southwestern Community College to offer free college courses on campus for our students.

The "College Bound" program allows students to take challenging courses taught by college faculty for credit in both high school and college. Bayfront students have the opportunity to register for Southwestern courses before the next term starts. The top two requested classes are scheduled, with Southwestern providing instructors if 40 or more students request a class.
