Why is the Connecticut River Academy called an early college high school?
Since the Connecticut River Academy is located on Goodwin Colleges campus, the Academys students have direct access to the same faculty and facilities that the colleges students do. The Connecticut River Academys students work with Goodwin College faculty starting in grade 9 and can take credit-bearing college courses starting in grade 11. Students who maintain their level of academic achievement can earn up to a year of college credit in a range of academic areas, including environmental studies, mathematics, English, and many other areas. Students will even be able to complete prerequisite courses for advanced Goodwin programs, such as health sciences, nursing, and environmental studies. 4.
