The Early College Academy (ECA) is a college-prep magnet high school and sister school to the Career Enrichment Center (CEC) that focuses on college preparation. Classes are offered to 200 students in a small school environment.  ECA classes are scheduled in the morning so that students may take CEC, UNM, or CNM classes in the afternoon. UNM and CNM classes may apply toward an associate or university degree.

ECA’s small-school environment offers students an intimate and personalized college-readiness learning experience. We believe in an academic focus, paralleling a college-level curriculum, and we encourage our students to start their post-secondary work while still in high school.

Is the ECA right for you? The Early College Academy is a match if you have:

• an interest in a challenging curriculum
• a history of successful completion of Language Arts and Mathematics classes
• a willingness to complete 2-3 hours of nightly homework
• a preference for small class sizes
• an interest in career exploration (internships, apprenticeships or vocational courses)
• the drive to complete college coursework while still in high school
• an interest in the individualization of a smaller school environment

an interest in personalized college admissions support
