INWOOD EARLY COLLEGE FOR HEALTH AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES (IECHIT) is a specialized public high school located in the Inwood neighborhood of Manhattan. As an Early College institution, the school is designed to bridge the gap between high school and higher education by allowing students to earn both a Regents diploma and up to 60 college credits—effectively an Associate degree—through a partnership with CUNY Lehman College. This academic model is intended to provide students with a significant head start on their professional journeys, reducing the time and cost required to complete a bachelor's degree later on.

The school's curriculum is centered on the dual pillars of Health and Information Technology, preparing students for high-demand careers in these growing fields. Beyond traditional academics, IECHIT emphasizes career readiness through work-based learning, mentorships, and exposure to professional settings, ensuring that students develop both technical skills and soft skills. By fostering a rigorous yet supportive environment, the school aims to empower students from the local community with the tools and credentials necessary to thrive in competitive college programs and the modern workforce.
