About Early College Charter School

The Early College Charter School allows students to pursue postsecondary education while working toward a high school diploma, with personalized pathways tailored to their goals. We focus on individualized attention in small classes, supporting students' social and emotional development in a safe, nurturing environment. Students can also earn college credits toward an associate's degree through Monroe University or CUNY College of Staten Island.

Get Ahead of your College Degree!

Through partnerships with Monroe University and CUNY College of Staten Island, our unique program blends secondary and post-secondary curricula, providing mentorship to students while allowing them the opportunity to earn credits toward their associate's degree.

Our Mission: Our early college programs, partnered with CUNY College of Staten Island and Monroe University, integrate high school and college-level courses, creating a comprehensive academic curriculum. Dually-enrolled students earn credits toward an associate’s degree. Graduates emerge as well-rounded, caring individuals equipped with high levels of college readiness.

Our Vision: We aim to provide Early College access to historically underserved students, with varying learning styles and socio-economic challenges, to reach their highest potential.

At Early College Charter School, students are immersed in a college-oriented culture through:

  • Rigorous, standards-aligned instruction

“All of the staff, from teachers to administration and counseling are on the same page and looking to help their students be successful. Parents are kept in the loop regularly and having small class sizes is helpful for all students, not just those with an IEP.”

The Early College Charter School Parent

“Great school. It offers early college access to students with courses at universities and also offers great internships for students who are looking for career readiness.”

The Early College Charter School Parent

“If you're looking for a school that cares about their students and provides individual attention, this is it. You can tell all of the staff cares - from the teaching staff to the counselors and administration, everyone is on the same page and that is to support their students and guide them on their path to success, whichever path that is”
