Abstract	Early college high schools allow students to earn both a high school diploma and two years of college credit simultaneously. The concept makes college more affordable, provides more support to students in their first two years of college, and gives students a jump start on their careers by eliminating time-wasting activities in the last two years of high school. In this article, the author presents some of these programs which are geared to high-achieving students ready for college work while still in high school, others to at-risk students or even dropouts.
