NOVA Academy Early College High School

Description

As an Early College High School, NOVA Academy is designed to help students earn both a high school diploma and up to two years of college credit towards their Bachelor’s degree. Traditional high schools only offer the required credits for their students to graduate high school, but NOVA Academy Early College High School (ECHS) provides our students the opportunity to take undergraduate college level courses at Santa Ana Community College (SAC) and the University of California, Irvine (UCI), at no cost to the student. In addition, NOVA Academy specifically targets at-risk and underserved students: 87% of whom are considered socioeconomically disadvantaged and 13% of whom are considered homeless by the California Department of Education.
