01
Save thousands of dollars on future costs for college
​
Thanks to a generous donation from the McInerny Foundation, you can take college courses and earn college credits at no cost to the student.
06
Helps you stand out and get noticed
​
Early College helps you standout and get noticed on your scholarship personal statement, applications for premier universities, and promotes honors recognition.
02
Smaller Learning Communities
​
Due to the smaller class sizes of its courses, Early College encourages and supports the formation of smaller learning communities. Form study groups and bond with your peers.
07
Fosters a "college-going" culture at the high school
​
The professors treat you like one of their regular students. No 'watering down' of material or special curriculum. Actual college course material.
03
Boosts your GPA above 4.0 through weighted 5.0 classes
​
If you decide to take one(or more) of the following 5.0 weighted courses: Math 103, English 100, History 151, Psychology 100, Sociology 100, and Speech 151, you can boost your GPA above 4.0 or it could be the course that pushes your 3.9 to a 4.0.
04
Earn an Associate of Arts or Associate in Science degree
​
Become an AA Olympian and begin working towards earning your Associate of Arts degree by your high school graduation, or become a STEM Olympian to earn an Associate in Science/ Natural Science degree by graduation.
08
Earn dual credit
​
Take college classes that can take the place of high school classes. Taking more and more Early College classes means taking fewer and fewer high school classes. This is called “dual credit.”
09
On average, Early College completers earn higher GPAs after high school
​
Waipahu High School students that go to Leeward Community College without Early College experience, on average earn a 2.0 GPA at LCC. Early College students who go to LCC on average earn a 3.0 GPA.
