The Early College of Forsyth is location in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on the campus of Forsyth Technical Community College.[1] Early College of Forsyth allows students to take college courses while in high school. Most students will earn both their high school diploma and an associate's degree at graduation.[2]
History[edit]
The Early College of Forsyth opened in the Fall of 2008 through the
Governor Mike Easley and the N.C. Education Cabinet with the support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation created the North Carolina New Schools Project (NCNSP) in August 2003 to focus leadership and financial resources on change in the state’s high schools.
Stokes Early College High School opened in the Fall of 2009 with 48 ninth grade students; each year will admit another fifty students until there are grades nine through twelve. It is a public school that draws from Stokes County Schools, and occasionally surrounding private schools and homeschools, but is selective in admissions and it is an opportunity provided to Stokes County and surrounding county residents, but residency does not insure the right to participate. The principal is Joey Hearl.
Curriculum[edit]
Students at Stokes Early College High School experience a rigorous academic schedule throughout all four/five years.
The underclass schedule is very rigorous with the expectation that most of their high school credits will be attained by the time they enter their junior year. Classes are taught on a modified block schedule with holidays that align with Forsyth Tech's schedule. All students have dual enrollment; they are enrolled in both Forsyth Tech and in the Stokes County school system. Juniors and Seniors take classes largely at Forsyth Tech, which count towards their remaining high school credits as well as college credits. Upon admission within the University of North Carolina system, many enter as freshmen with credit and become a junior their second year in the university.
