EAST ALLEN UNIVERSITY

East Allen University is a Title I public high school that is part of the East Allen County Schools school district, located in Fort Wayne, IN with about 317 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 19 teachers, East Allen University has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

East Allen University (EAU) is a specialized early college high school located in Fort Wayne, Indiana, operating under the East Allen County Schools district. Unlike a traditional high school, EAU is designed to bridge the gap between secondary and higher education by allowing students to earn both their high school diploma and an Associate Degree simultaneously. Through a partnership with Ivy Tech Community College, students are immersed in a college-going culture from their freshman year, completing rigorous coursework that is transferable to four-year universities.

The school is uniquely structured to provide students with a significant academic and financial head start. By taking college-level courses on-site, students can graduate with up to 60 college credits tuition-free, drastically reducing the future cost of a bachelor’s degree. EAU emphasizes academic discipline, personal responsibility, and professional readiness, catering to students who are motivated to challenge themselves and thrive in an environment that operates at a collegiate pace while maintaining the supportive community of a smaller high school setting.
