Tri-County Early College is a project-based early college where students engaged in real-world, project-based learning while obtaining their Associates degree at the local community college. The story is amazing, the result of a small number of educators wanting to provide students with an alternative learning environment that focused on who their students were, how they could be engaged, and the opportunity to extend their possible trajectories moving forward beyond school and their community.
