The Early College High School (ECHS) model allows students to blend college and high school coursework, enabling students to earn up to two years of college credit (60 hours), tuition-free, while enrolled in high school.

Students enrolled in the ECHS program receive highly personalized attention and follow custom graduation plans. Dedicated staff mentor and guide these students, helping them develop critical academic and social skills necessary for success in both high school and college.
