    Baker All Prep Early College has allowed me to obtained an Associates degree while still in high school. I attend Lane Community College in Eugene, Oregon, and take a variety of course on and off campus that are fully funded by the program. It has been such an awesome experience to collaborate and learn with people from all different ages and backgrounds. One thing I would like to see changed is the help that is provided for finding a college to transfer to after graduation. I have had to do a lot by myself, and it would have been nice to have a little bit more guidance. Otherwise, it is a unique school that offers a once in a life time opportunity!

    BEC is an amazing school, led by administrators who truly care about their employees and students. The requirements are flexible enough to allow students to pursue college courses that interest them, while still counting for high school credit. Free community college anywhere in the state?!? Advisors who are personally invested in you!?! BEC has it all.
    Baker early college really helps you get ahead. If you struggle with the social aspects of traditional high school but excel academically, this is a good option to consider. However, because you'll likely be taking classes with people much older than your typical peer group it may be difficult to make friends at school.
