Yes. Coursework for the Early College Education Academy will end in time for students to return to their home high school in order to participate in after school activities.

It is important to note that special cohort classes for advanced students in the first semester will not be arranged; instead, advanced students must select from regularly offered sections that would include other Madison College students. Students who want credit for their high school AP classes will need to take the AP test and share scores with Madison College for consideration for credit.

The schedule will follow a similar schedule as a typical high school day. Significant differences exist in comparing the week schedule for a student in the Early College program compared to a typical high school setting. Courses in the Early College program will likely be scheduled on a Monday-Wednesday-Friday or Tuesday-Thursday schedule, so students attend class on 2 or 3 days during the week (compared to 5 days a week at a typical high school schedule). On alternate days, students will attend an academic support time, designed specifically to support students in the Early College Education Academy program at Madison College.

Most if not all of the courses for the Education Academy students will be held at the Truax Campus & South Goodman locations.

Students currently enrolled in DLI programs can make a choice to be in the Early College Education Academy, though they will not be able to continue in the DLI program.

Students currently enrolled in AVID can make a choice to be in the Early College Education Academy, though they will not be able to continue in the AVID program.
