Stanly Early College Home

Our students are enrolled in Stanly Early College, a Cooperative Innovative High School, where they earn an associate degree and high school diploma. They may also earn other certifications, credentials, or diplomas based on their interests and pathways. Students can earn 60 transferable credit hours to transfer into a four-year university, beginning the university in major-level classes, or start their career after graduation.

North Carolina's Cooperative Innovative High Schools are small public high schools usually located on a university or community college campus. They expand students’ opportunities for educational success through high-quality instructional programming. These Schools target students at risk of dropping out of high school, first-generation college students, and/or students who would benefit from accelerated learning opportunities.
