EARLY COLLEGE OF FORSYTH CO

Early College of Forsyth Co is a public high school that is part of the Winston Salem / Forsyth County Schools school district, located in Winston Salem, NC with about 258 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 10 teachers, Early College of Forsyth Co has a student/teacher ratio of about 25:1. 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.

The Early College of Forsyth (ECF) is a specialized public high school located on the campus of Forsyth Technical Community College in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Operating as a partnership between the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools and Forsyth Tech, the institution is designed for students who are ready to pursue advanced academic rigor in a non-traditional environment. By blending high school requirements with college-level coursework, ECF offers a unique "dual-enrollment" model that allows students to graduate with both a high school diploma and, in many cases, a significant head start on—or completion of—an associate degree or transferable college credits.

The school is defined by its small, intimate learning community, which fosters close relationships between students and faculty while promoting personal responsibility and academic maturity. Because it is located on a college campus, students are afforded the opportunity to experience a professional, collegiate atmosphere throughout their high school years. This model is particularly well-suited for highly motivated students who thrive in independent learning environments and are eager to accelerate their educational paths while minimizing the future costs of higher education.
