In conjunction with Atlantic Cape Community College (ACCC), LCMR offers a Pre-College Program. The Pre-College Program supports the national initiative and state call for the promotion of increased cooperation between secondary schools and institutions of higher education. The national Early College High School initiative encourages educational partnerships to increase the access of motivated high school students to the educational resources of institutions of higher education, earning dual credits, Associate Degrees and career certifications by the end of 12th grade. Therefore, the Pre-College Program offered at LCMR will become the official Associate Degree pathway earned at ACCC.

In general, an Associate’s degree represents 60 credits of a prescribed program of coursework. Through the dual, articulated, and Advanced Placement program(s), a student can accrue up to 34 credits of the required 60 credits for the Associate degree at LCMR. The remaining 26 credits must be taken as concurrent courses or through ACCC. All/most college courses taken at ACCC will count towards LCMR graduation requirements as well. Student/families need to plan their pathway with both their LCMR counselor and counselors at ACCC. All tuition and fees are paid for by the student/families. Ask you guidance counselor for more details about the Pre-College Program / Dual Diploma at LCMR.
