The Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation’s Early College High School is now enrolling for the 2016-17 school year. To help families with the important decision of what pathway their students’ should follow to graduation, EVSC’s Early College is planning an open house on Dec. 10, at 5:30 p.m., in the Vectren Auditorium at Ivy Tech Community College.
This innovative model program in the EVSC is designed so that students can earn both a high school diploma and work toward an associate’s degree or up to two years of credit toward a bachelor’s degree, simultaneously. Across the nation it has been shown that early college high schools have the potential to improve high school graduation rates and better prepare students for high-skill careers by engaging all students in a rigorous, college preparatory curriculum and compressing the number of years to a college degree
Students enrolled in the EVSC Early College High School will spend half of the day at their home high school and the other half on Ivy Tech Community College’s campus during their freshmen and sophomore years. During the junior year, students will choose degree pathways offered through Ivy Tech Community College. Students also may enroll in select courses offered at the University of Evansville. During the summer, students can attend programs and courses at the University of Evansville and at Ivy Tech Community College.
Students will be provided with college readiness programs, mentoring, and academic support to ensure success in the program.
