Hey everyone! I've heard about Simon's Rock and how they offer a college experience to students after 10th grade. Are there other colleges that offer a similar program where I can start before finishing high school? I’m eager to challenge myself and potentially start my college journey early!
Hello there! It's great that you're looking to challenge yourself with an early college experience. Besides Bard College at Simon's Rock, which is indeed a pioneer in this field, there are a few other programs you might consider. For instance, Mary Baldwin University in Virginia has an early college program through its Program for the Exceptionally Gifted. Also, the University of Washington offers an early entrance program called the Transition School for younger students.
Another option is the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science (TAMS) at the University of North Texas, which caters to talented high school juniors and seniors with a focus on STEM. There's a variety of programs out there depending on your interests and readiness for college-level work. It's important to research each program thoroughly to understand the nuances of their offerings, admission requirements, and campus life, to make sure it's the right fit for you. Best of luck in your quest for an early college experience!
