About Colorado Early Colleges

Student-Centered, Innovation Ready, Future-Focused. Colorado Early Colleges (CEC) is the largest and most successful network of public charter schools in the state, providing Colorado families with accessible, flexible, and individualized learning and a direct path to college degrees and other industry credentials through its middle and high school campus locations, online campus, college direct locations, and homeschool academy locations. Since the doors of our Colorado Springs high school campus first opened in 2007, Colorado Early Colleges and our accredited college partners have been committed to creating a community of lifetime learners and building a culture throughout our network of schools that fosters academic, career, and personal success for every student. From exceptional middle school educations to college degrees and other industry credentials for our high school graduates, to unique learning opportunities for homeschool and non-public school students, the Colorado Early Colleges network of public charter schools strives to remove barriers in delivering the highest levels of academic success possible to all K-12 students. CEC is authorized by the Charter School Institute, a Colorado statewide charter school organization.
