nationally, including several inMichigan

Founded on the assumption thatyounger students are fully capable ofrigorous, higher-level academic work.

Especially successful with studentswho have not found their niche incomprehensive high schools

Goal is to provide integrated K-16educational experience


4/21

Early colleges are usually five-yearhybrid programs combining thebest elements of secondary andpost-secondary education

Focus is on challenge, acceleration,relevancy and relationships

Students attend an Early CollegeHigh School from Grade 9 toGrade 13, with the schoolembedded and fully integrated intothe college campus

Background: Early Colleges


5/21

Upon achieving proficiency in a given content area,students take university courses for high school andcollege credit

Upon graduation following grade 13, students earn ahigh school diploma and up to 60 transferable creditstowards their BA program, and/or an Associate Degree

Oakland Early College So what about OEC itself? Who is OEC for?

What does a student schedule look like? Whatclasses do they take? Is this a public school? How much does it

cost?

How do students apply? How do I get details? What if I have more questions?
