Early College Experience and AP Courses

The Advanced Placement (AP) Program offers an exceptional opportunity for high school students to challenge themselves with college-level coursework in a high school environment.  AP courses are designed to foster critical thinking, academic rigor, and intellectual curiosity, preparing students for success in higher education and beyond. By participating in these courses, students can explore advanced topics in various subjects, develop advanced study skills, and gain a deeper understanding of their areas of interest. AP courses are an excellent way to build a strong academic foundation while standing out in the college admissions process.

Many colleges and universities recognize the value of AP coursework and may award credit or advanced placement to students who achieve qualifying exam scores, potentially saving time and tuition costs in their college journey. We are proud to support our students in their pursuit of academic excellence by offering a diverse selection of AP courses and providing the resources and support needed to succeed.

UConn Early College Experience (ECE) allows high school students to take UConn courses in high school for both high school and college credit. UConn ECE courses are a great way to gain early college credits while in high school, and at a lower cost! They provide students with college course experience, workload management, and college credit.

These high level courses are offered each year if eligible students choose to enroll.
