School Overview

The Cabarrus-Kannapolis Early College (CKEC) is a specialized public high school located in Concord, North Carolina, operated through a partnership between Cabarrus County Schools and Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. Unlike traditional high schools, CKEC utilizes an "early college" model, which integrates high school and college coursework. This allows students to complete their high school graduation requirements while simultaneously earning college credits, often graduating with both a high school diploma and an Associate degree or significant transferrable college credits at little to no cost to the family.

Designed for students who are motivated to jumpstart their higher education, the school emphasizes a rigorous academic environment, college readiness, and time management skills. By immersing students in a collegiate setting, CKEC aims to bridge the gap between secondary and post-secondary education, providing a supportive yet independent atmosphere. It is an ideal choice for students seeking a non-traditional educational experience that prioritizes academic efficiency and early professional or collegiate preparation.
