Welcome to the Early College High School and Dual Credit Programs

One of the constant challenges of education is how to help students develop patterns of thinking that cross cultural and disciplinary boundaries in meaningful ways. For urban students, the need for cross-cultural understanding and dialogue and interdisciplinary problem solving can be found in their own neighborhoods. If these young men and women are encouraged now to master the knowledge and skills required to negotiate cross-cultural cooperation within their chosen disciplines, they will have attained a skill valued highly in any professional setting.
