What is an early college?
An early college gives students the opportunity to earn a high school diploma while also working toward a college degree, career certificate, or college credits, often at no cost to their families. At Colorado Early Colleges, students follow an individualized path based on their skills, goals, and readiness, allowing them to move into college-level coursework as soon as they are prepared.
