Early
College High School is a new kind of institution that
blends high school and college into a coherent educational
program. It is designed so that all students can achieve
up to two years of college credit at the same time as they
are earning a high school diploma.

School is all about!
Itineris Early College High Schools share similar
characteristics that have shown to improve learning and
academic success in students.
These characteristics include:
-
Being located on or near
college campus
-
Operating within a
mature learning environment
-
Offering a rigorous
curriculum
-
Pursuing college credit
within an accredited college degree-granting program
Since 2002, the partner organizations of
the Early College High School Initiative
have started or redesigned more than 200
schools in 24 states and the District of
Columbia. The schools are designed so
that low-income youth, first-generation
college goers, English language
learners, students of color, and other
young people underrepresented in higher
education can simultaneously earn a high
school diploma and an Associate’s degree
or up to two years of credit toward a
Bachelor’s degree—tuition free.
