Early College Program

The Lindbergh Early College Program allows a unique experience for rising juniors and seniors. Students participating in this experience complete their junior and senior years of high school at St. Louis Community College. Students earn credits toward their high school diploma and an Associate of Arts degree simultaneously. At the end of the student’s senior year in high school, the student can hold a diploma and an associate degree and be ready for transfer to a four-year college or university. Participation in the Early College Program is dependent on the number of applicants and available district funding.
