About Bard Early College
Bard Early College is founded on the belief that many high school-age students are eager and ready for the intellectual challenges of a college education, and that we can significantly advance equity and opportunity in education by providing younger students with access to a rigorous, rewarding, and tuition-free college course of study within public school systems. Bard Early College acts on this belief by providing high school-aged students with a tuition-free, credit-bearing college course of study in the liberal arts and sciences following the 9th and 10th grades. Students are taught by college faculty in seminar classes; they receive up to 60 college credits and an associate in arts (A.A.) degree from Bard College, concurrently with a high school diploma. Bard Early College begins preparing students for college work as early as the 9th grade and offers ongoing guidance and academic support. Each Bard Early College site is both a public high school and a branch campus of Bard College, interwoven and entirely free of cost to students and their families.

Now in its second decade, the Bard Early College network serves over 3,000 students in campuses in Lower Manhattan and Queens, New York; Newark, New Jersey; New Orleans, Louisiana; Cleveland, Ohio; Baltimore, Maryland; and Washington, D.C. Since 2003, Bard College has awarded more than 5,000 A.A. degrees to its early college students.
