Early College Opportunity program begins at Danbury High School

The first group of Danbury High School students who will simultaneously be working toward their Associate Degree have started their "school within a school" program.  The new initiative is being called the Early College Opportunity program.  Superintendent of Schools Dr Sal Pascarella says Danbury High School has partnered with Naugutuck Valley Community College for this program.

 

Freshmen will begin accelerating their high school requirements so that by sophomore or junior year they can start incorporating college-level courses.  There is no cost to complete the program while at DHS, through there is some attendance at NVCC required after graduation.

 

The Associate Degree would be in Information Technology.

 

Every students is paired with an industry mentor from New Oak Capital or Pitney Bowes. They will have in-person and over-the-internet meetings.  Students will discuss concepts learned during “Workplace Learning,” a class period during their day. The students can also see strategies in action during one-on-one meetings with their mentor in the workplace.
