EARLY COLLEGE PROGRAM
IVC Early College Program Overview
*Updated 3/5/2018*
If you are the parent of an 8th grader interested in Beckman’s Early College program, you will need to attend 8th Grade Parent Night on April 3rd at 6:00pm. Be sure to attend Early College breakout session.
Early College is not for everyone, so if you decide you want to pursue it, you will have to apply & get admitted to the program. Our program is a 4 year commitment. You will receive an application packet at the parent night; you can also begin by printing the forms to begin the process. They will need to be returned to Beckman on April 20, 2018.
Only current 8th grade students will be considered for the 2022 cohort. The 2019, 2020, and 2021 cohorts are closed to new applicants.
Complete application, current transcript (may be printed off Aeries--does not have to be official) and 3 teacher recommendations must be submitted by April 20, 2018.
Also checkout our counseling page & video explanation under "8th grade info."
