Middle College students take 2 college classes and 4 high school classes each semester for 10th, 11th and 12th grade years. At the end of the 13th year, students will earn 60 college credits equal to an Associates Degree and their high school diploma FOR FREE.

**GRCC instruction hours by grade level:

1st/2nd hours - 11th grade

3rd/4th hours - 10th grade

5th/6th hours - 12th grade

**This schedule may conflict with certain high school courses/electives that are only offered a specific hour.  Example:  Marching Band is only offered 4th hour; this could conflict with the 10th grade middle college block of time.  This means students would have to choose between taking the high school course or the Middle College courses.

Some courses count for high school and college credit.

This is always dependent on college faculty availability and graduation requirements.

Current courses in place that count for both high school and college credit are:

MCHS 121 - World History - Middle College students don't take AP or regular World History in 10th grade they will take this as college course in 11th grade instead.  It counts as a high school requirement AND college credit.

MCMA215 - College Stats - this counts as a senior year math requirement for high school and the college credit.  Students can take additional math or AP math courses as well but should not take AP Statistics.

MCPS110 - Government - this counts for high school Civics and college credit.

NOTE: The EKHS 10-12 school counselors are very good at helping Middle College students navigate scheduling and getting all high school requirements completed.

Characteristics of  a Middle College Student

EK Middle College Students:

Should be good communicators!  Students should be able to self advocate, talk with their teachers and be comfortable asking questions on their own.

Should have good attendance!  Students must attend their classes! The best way to learn is when you are here.

Should like an academic challenge.  Each college course is only taught 2 days a week.  This means there is a lot of independent work required outside of class time.

Should be organized, self motivated and responsible.

Should have a flexible high school schedule.  GRCC instructors come to our EK campus to teach college courses.  We are not always able to accommodate students who need high school courses only offered during a certain hour.  Examples might be:  Some world language courses, some AP courses, Choir, Band, Marching Band or Orchestra.

If being in the "Top 10' or taking all 'AP courses' is a goal; students may find that Middle College won't help achieve those goals.  Middle College courses are graded on a 4 point scale so it may be difficult to earn over a 4 point GPA.

Should have close to or over a 3.0 GPA after the first semester of 9th grade. Students should be passing all of their current classes with a C or better.
