One of our largest programs on campuses is the AVID program where students receive support and realize their dream of becoming successful college students. Early College Academy is an early college dual enrollment cohort in a comprehensive setting full partnership with Golden West College. What makes the Early College Academy unique is that our students are college students taking college courses building their transcript from the first semester of their freshman year.
