The Early College Program is a unique and exciting partnership with Central Virginia Community College.

Early College is a two-year program designed to allow selected juniors to earn an Advanced Studies high school diploma from their home schools and an Associate of Arts and Science Degree in General Studies from Central Virginia Community College simultaneously. Students will attend the college courses at the Campbell County Technical Center in the morning and have the option of returning to their home school in the afternoon to take elective courses and participate in extra-curricular activities.

Sophomores enrolled in Campbell County Schools with a minimum GPA of 3.5 and enrolled in Pre-AP Algebra II/Trig (or higher level math course) and have successfully completed Algebra I and Geometry are eligible to apply. Students must pass the Compass Assessment in mathematics and English to accept the invitation to the Early College Program. All students accepted into the program must participate in the orientation program.

Tuition will be shared by Campbell County and the parents/students. The amount paid by the parent will be determined annually.

Early College Education Cohort at Central Virginia Community College (CVCC)

The Early College Education Cohort at Central Virginia Community College (CVCC) offers high school juniors a unique opportunity to jump-start a future in education while still completing their high school diploma.

Through this specialized program, students can earn an Associate of Science in General Studies with an advising track in Education while simultaneously completing their Advanced Studies Diploma—all before high school graduation.

Created in partnership with Liberty University (LU), the program provides a seamless transfer pathway. Students who continue to Liberty University can enter as juniors and complete their bachelor’s degree in just two additional years, following a clearly mapped course plan.

A standout feature of this pathway is the opportunity for students to work as paraprofessionals in local schools during their time at Liberty University. This allows students to gain valuable, real-world classroom experience while completing their degree.

While ideal for students pursuing a career in education, the General Studies degree also offers flexibility, allowing students to adjust academic or career goals as interests evolve.
