WOODSTOCK — The Woodstock Academy has landed a spot in the Top 10 High Schools for total number of students enrolled in the UConn Early College Experience program for the 2016-2017 academic year.
The Academy ranked No. 9 in the program this year with 180 students enrolled in UConn ECE courses.
UConn ECE is a concurrent enrollment program that allows high school students to take UConn courses at their high schools for both high school and college credit.
Each course taken through the UConn ECE program is equivalent to the same course at the University of Connecticut.
“We are pleased to be one of the top high schools involved with the UConn ECE program this year,” said Christopher Sandford, WA headmaster.
“Having 180 of our students taking advantage of this innovative and worthwhile opportunity is quite an accomplishment," he said.
"We look forward to growing our participation even further in the coming years,” he added.
The Woodstock Academy is an independent, co-educational, college preparatory high school for grades 9–12, located in Woodstock.
The mission of The Woodstock Academy is to prepare all students for a lifetime of learning by providing academic rigor, a safe environment, and a diversity of educational experiences which will foster a sense of respect for self and others, and will encourage active investment in family, school, community, and the world.
