High School, Mixed With College

A school that officials are billing as a kind of hybrid between a high school and a community college is set to open in Brooklyn this fall.

At the five-year secondary school, called the City Polytechnic High School of Engineering, Architecture and Technology, graduating students would receive both a high school diploma and an associate’s degree.

The school will blend a curriculum focused on career and technical education with advanced courses in subjects like computer systems and architectural technology at the New York City College of Technology.

The new school is long overdue, said the city schools chancellor, Joel I. Klein, at a news conference Wednesday at Lehman College. Mr. Klein, along with Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, also announced increases in the number of public school graduates attending City University of New York schools like Lehman and the College of Technology.

Currently, 11 city schools allow high school students to earn college credit at CUNY before they graduate.

This is the way it should be. High Schools should adjust and all students to acquire college credit during their high school years. This would allow you to lessen the number of credits required for degree completion. And you need not pay for youe education. Visit www.freecollegeeducation.com
