Philosophy
Early College High Schools are small high schools from which students may leave with a two - year Associate of Arts degree, or with sufficient college credits to enter a four-year, liberal arts program as a junior.
Early College High Schools focus on students for whom a smooth transition into postsecondary education is challenging: low - income students, minority students, English Language learners, and first - generation, college - bound students.
Teaching
The school's small size (approximately 400 students) will provide the opportunity for individualized instruction. Students will graduate with a high school diploma, plus up to two years of college credit toward a bachelor's degree. By creating a structure in which the high school years are compressed with the number of years required to receive college degrees, the Early College High School will be centered around improving graduation rates and better preparing students for entry into high-skills careers.
The Early College High School is also designed to substantially increase the number of minority and female students who will pursue advanced studies and careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
