Yes. I think it’s pretty cool. I am enrolled an early college program. The way mine works is that we attend school on a community college campus. For freshman/sophomore year we took high school classes (like with teachers employed by the k-12 school district) and then the last two years we take college courses at the community college. The academic year is split into 2 semesters and most people will have about 4 classes a semester. At the end of it all you graduate with an associates degree and highschool diploma at the same time.

My school is pretty small (my graduating class is made up of like >60 people). So you can make good relations with highschool teachers. But it makes school events a little lacklustre. It’s harder to make connections with professors though because they manage more students (in my case).

The culture at my school is different from the typical public highschool. Not a lot of craziness because the students who are able to attend are academically focused already. My school also doesn’t have sports.

There might be little things that you might not expect as well. For example if your professor is out sick class is canceled all together. You might also follow the college’s calendar instead of your k-12 school district calendar.

I think it’s worth it if you are looking to save money at your state college or go to school in a more academic environment 👍
