Akron Early College High School is a new approach to high school where students earn a high school diploma and an associate's degree at the same time. Classes are taught at The University of Akron by a combination of high school teachers and college professors. The program is geared to students who have not traditionally sought higher education. The program also prepares students for the rigors of university life and gives them a jumpstart in college credits, saving families money.  Our graduates earn thousands of dollars each year in college scholarships.
