PCA Logo

The Pre-Collegiate Academy is designed to meet the growing interest of students who want to earn college credits in high school. The goal of PCA is to earn a high school diploma and Associate’s Degree simultaneously.

PCA offers a personalized course of study in freshman and sophomore years that provides more rigorous coursework through Honors and/or Advanced Placement core classes. PCA students will engage in college courses at ACC in their junior and senior years - tuition free with books provided. Transportation is also provided.

Students will also engage in seminars designed to promote success at the postsecondary level, along with community service opportunities.
