Fischetti, John; MacKain, Sally; Smith, Robert
Improving Schools, v14 n1 p48-64 Mar 2011
Early colleges are one alternative to the traditional comprehensive high school. This article examines whether early college students are academically, socially and emotionally ready for university work at age 16. Preliminary data indicate enough promise in the innovation to revision not only the high school curriculum, but middle school and university curricula as well. (Contains 5 tables.)
