The Vision of The Ribault Early College EC Program

Each student will graduate from high school with the opportunity to achieve up to 60 credits of college coursework completed toward the Associate of Arts Degree at FCCJ. The Early College curriculum integrates the high school graduation requirement with courses designed to lead to an Associate of Arts degree. Graduation will celebrate the student achieving a diploma from high school, up to 60 hours of credit, and/or a possible AA degree from FCCJ. The college course selections are made with an eye to admission to a four year institution of higher education with Bright Futures Scholarship support.

The curriculum is challenging and fast-paced. It is focused on student learning through cross-curricular, experimental, and performance assessments. The student is expected to want to learn for the positive value added to their journey to and through college. Ultimately, the student could complete a post-graduate college degree by the time their friends finish a four-year degree.

It is imperative for out future generation of business, industry, and social leaders to set goals of positive and productive lives. The Early College will be an environment that the young person, growing toward their adult lives, will be challenged to grow intellectually and to learn personal responsibility through commitment to a vision focused on success in every goal they set.
