We Are

Early College!

Early college high schools are small schools designed so that students can earn both a high school diploma and work toward an associate’s degree or up to two years of credit toward a bachelor’s degree. Early college high schools have the potential to improve high school graduation rates and better prepare students for high-skill careers by engaging all students in a rigorous, college preparatory curriculum and compressing the number of years to a college degree.
