School Overview

**SUCCESS Academy** (Schools for University and College Education State Scholarship) is a specialized early college high school program located on the campus of Southern Utah University (SUU) in Cedar City, Utah. Designed for students in grades 10 through 12, the school operates on a unique model that allows pupils to complete their high school graduation requirements while simultaneously earning a significant number of college credits—often resulting in an Associate of Science degree by the time they graduate high school.

The academy is highly regarded for its rigorous academic environment and its focus on fostering an early transition into higher education. By integrating high school students into the university setting, SUCCESS Academy aims to bridge the gap between secondary and post-secondary education, providing students with a tuition-free opportunity to jumpstart their college careers. The program is best suited for self-motivated learners who are looking for a challenging, college-preparatory experience in a supportive, smaller-school community.
