CEC is authorized to provide students with the opportunity to take college courses while in high school by Charter School Institute (www.csi.state.co.us), a Colorado statewide charter school organization. What is an Early College? Read More An early college is a state designated high school with a four year curriculum designed to give students the opportunity to concurrently earn, upon graduation, a high school diploma and a postsecondary credential. Postsecondary credentials include associate degrees, industry credentials, 60 or more college course credits, and even bachelor’s degrees. CEC Mission Statement Read More All students, regardless of background or skill level, will have the opportunity to pursue a growth mindset that will allow them to achieve mastery and to demonstrate that they can succeed in school, in college, and in their chosen career. No Exceptions. No Excuses. CEC Admissions — Every Journey Begins with a First Step Read More At CEC, we understand the search for the right school is a personal experience and that the admissions process can often be intimidating and difficult to follow. Our Admissions staff are dedicated to helping families understand our process and to provide support from your initial decision to apply for enrollment all the way to your first advising session. CEC Advising — Every Goal Deserves a Plan Read More At CEC, our advisors strive to understand and respect the uniqueness of each student and their educational goals. They recognize that middle school and high school is a time of exploration and student interests and goals can quickly change. This awareness drives their collaborations with each student to create an Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP) that is consistent with their educational goals, career interests, and abilities. CEC Academics — Every Student Can Achieve Success Read More CEC and our accredited college partners are committed to creating a community of lifetime learners and a school culture that fosters academic, career and personal success for every student.

We make every effort to offer the highest levels of support in guiding students towards their goals and to achieve those goals through commitment, effort, and accountability.

At CEC, we know that when young people develop valuable skills, make connections and build a network while they are in middle school and high school through career learning, they have an inside track on being successful in life. Career-focused students have a significantly greater high school graduation rate (90%) than the national average (75%), and, also do better in class because hands-on experiences within career courses make academic subjects more engaging and more interesting.
