The Early College Academy (ECA) is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for your student to complete college-level courses while in high school. In collaboration with Victor Valley College (VVC), Sultana High School (SHS) has designed this program to help SHS students get a head start on their college education by taking college classes during the regular school day.

Students who are a part of ECA are a part of a cohort. It is designed as a 3 year program with students starting in 10th grade and continuing into their Junior and Senior year.

The program is free with absolutely no cost to students. Students can potentially earn up to 50 college credits during the three years. Most college credit earned through the program can be applied toward earning an AA/AS degree at VVC or be transferred to a university.

Students who are/have:

• Hardworking

• Motivated to learn

• Good attendance/Discipline

• Planning to attend college

• Grades in good standing

Starting the 2021-2022 school year we have expanded our ECA Program to start in the 10th grade. This allows us to expand our course offerings as well as gives students the opportunity to earn up to 50 college credits while they are still in high school

For the 2021-2022 school year we will accept applications from current 9th/10th Grade students to start their 10th/11th grade year.

Starting 2022/2023 school year we will only accept applications from our 10th grade students as we move to our 3 year program.
