The teachers are super caring give great opportunities of learning for students. The relationships between a student and a teacher is almost like a best friend whom you can always count on and talk to. I personally really enjoyed the freedom that I get and the great environment surrounding the school’s campus. Overall, ECA is a great choice for incoming freshmen and sophomores!
My experience at Early College Academy was excellent. The staff members each dedicated themselves to their work and provided me and all students with equal, amazing opportunities. They have helped me learn and achieve more than I could have on my own. The campus, while small, possess a loving and welcoming environment. I have come to love attending school, rather than dreading it each day. I appreciate Early College Academy's attempts to teach skills other than pure academics. Clubs at ECA have taught me important life skills such as talking confidently and calmly to others, which has helped me with various interviews I have participated in. Also, I have learned how to more effectively collaborate with others. The teachers and my fellow students are supportive and patient with each other; it is because of the efforts of each individual that Early College Academy is a great school.
I enjoyed my time at the Early College Academy! It equipped me with an associate's degree at the age of 18, allowing me to save money on all of my general studies. It was full of compassionate teachers and advisors who took care of me every step of the way. It allowed me to learn the time management and responsibility of a college student, even though I was only 14 at the time. The only thing I could say I didn't like was that I felt that I was left out of some high school experiences such as sports and pep rallies. Overall, it was a great opportunity.
