Our Early College Cohort is a program designed to support students as they work towards earning the Indiana College Core (ICC).  Providing 30 general education college credits, the ICC allows students to get a jump-start on college, saving students time and money.  Students who participate in the Early College Cohort also become better prepared for college through their dual credit college courses and specialized advising.  Some of the supports students receive as an Early College Cohort scholar include:

• CCR period with other Early College students and an Early College Teacher

• Grade monitoring by Early College staff

• Cohorted English and History class to build reading and writing skills in 9th Grade

• Cohorted English and Chemistry class to build students' readiness for dual credit in 10th Grade

• Cohorted Dual Credit English Composition in 11th Grade

• Access to Vincennes University Learning Coaches

• Guest speakers from colleges and professions 

• College campus visits

Students are invited to apply to the Early College Cohort based on their Junior High academic performance, reading level and other testing data, and citizenship.  

Invited students and families should attend a VIRTUAL information meeting on January 28 at 8pm.  The link  and application will be shared via ParentSquare.
