Causes: Education, Secondary & High Schools
Mission: To provide highly motivated students with a curriculum concentrating on science, technology, engineering and mathematics that is integrated with the relevant curriculum at delaware state university such that all students graduate with one to two years of college credits and are in a favorable position to graduate from college. The school shall provide a safe, caring and nurturing environment that develops students' academic, social skills and personal character traits necessary for successful college completion, with a special focus on high school students who will be the first generation in their families to become college educated.
Programs: In partnership with delaware state university (dsu), a historically black college and university in dover, delaware, the early college high school at delaware state university was designed to be a dynamic high school where students will be engaged, motivated, and supported by the unique learning environment that is created by the early college high school model. The curriculum for the school is focused on science, technology, engineering and math (stem). The school will replicate the nationally recognized early college high school model and will seek to serve particularly first generation college attendees in grades 9-12. To meet these academic and cultural goals, the board of directors (board) of the early college high school at delaware state university (echs@dsu) has selected edworks as a partner and will use their early college model design. In the tradition of early college high schools across the nation, students at echs@dsu will have the opportunity to earn a high school diploma and up to 60 hours of college credit during their four-year high school career, and will develop the drive and focus necessary to succeed at all levels of education and in their chosen careers.
