Early Middle College Program

Our Early Middle College Program allows students to prepare for college by earning a high school diploma and an associate degree or certificate for FREE.

Why Early Middle College?

In addition to the opportunity to earn up to 60 college credits and an associate degree at no cost, studies indicate that high school students who participate in college prep courses and early middle college programs are more likely to:

  • Graduate high school
  • Enjoy a positive school experience
  • Experience expanded career opportunities after completing the program
  • Have a smooth transition to college
  • Finish their degree
  • Graduate with less student loan debt

​What Makes Our Program Different?

While some high schools may offer early middle college programs restricted to a single career track or certification, our approach provides a variety of pathways. This ensures that our students are not confined to limited choices, allowing them to explore a broader range of opportunities and interests.

What We Provide

A dedicated support team

Your child will have a dedicated team helping them navigate every step of their Early Middle College experience. This team will help your student create an individualized plan and provide ongoing support through their fifth year. The team will include school counselors and advisors, an academic coach, and faculty members.

Monitoring and updates

The Early Middle College Program also includes academic support to maintain your child's academic standards. Additionally, we will keep parents informed with regular updates.
