University Of Connecticut Early College Experience Program 

UConn Early College Experience (ECE) provides academically motivated students with the opportunity to take university courses while in high school. These challenging courses allow students to preview college work, build confidence in their readiness for college, and earn college credits that provide both an academic and a financial head-start on a college degree and other postsecondary opportunities. UConn ECE instructors are high school teachers certified as adjunct professors by the University. UConn ECE faculty foster independent learning, creativity and critical thinking - all important for success in college and careers. Newington High school offers UConn ECE courses in Art, English, Medical Science, Science, Social Studies and World Language. To support rigorous learning, University of Connecticut academic resources, including library and online classroom access, are available to all UConn ECE students.
