Collaborative College for Technology

The Collaborative College for Technology (CCT) is a specialized early college high school located in Statesville, North Carolina, operating as part of the Iredell-Statesville School District. Designed to bridge the gap between secondary and higher education, the school offers a rigorous academic environment where students can earn both a high school diploma and an Associate degree—or significant transferable college credits—simultaneously. By partnering with local community colleges, CCT provides a streamlined pathway for students to accelerate their post-secondary education while still in high school, often at little to no cost to families.

The school emphasizes a small, supportive learning community that fosters student engagement, critical thinking, and technical proficiency. With its focus on technology and collaborative learning, CCT is particularly well-suited for motivated students who are looking for a non-traditional high school experience that emphasizes career readiness and academic independence. By integrating high school curriculum with college-level coursework, the Collaborative College for Technology prepares its graduates to enter the workforce or transition into a four-year university with a competitive academic advantage.
