CEC Testimonial 6

"Not only are you getting a high school experience, but you’re also getting a college experience early."

Samantha (Student)

CEC Testimonial 5

"It gives the kids an opportunity to be able to work at their own pace and to take advantage of college classes."

Greg E. (Parent)

CEC Testimonial 4

"Walking into a huge high school felt overwhelming, and my anxiety made it hard to focus on my goals. Switching to CEC changed everything. The smaller campus and quieter classrooms let me actually breathe and be myself. With my personalized graduation plan, I’m already getting ahead on credits without the ‘big school’ stress. I finally feel like a student again, not just a number in a hallway."

Freshman, Class of 2029

CEC Testimonial 3

"I needed a school that worked with my life, not the other way around. At CEC, the flexible scheduling allowed me to balance my core classes in person while exploring my interests through the Lift Lab and EVIT. Completing a whole year of credit in 18 weeks gave me the momentum I needed to graduate early and start my career sooner."

Junior, Early Graduate Path

CEC Testimonial 2

The best part of CEC is the community. Because the classes are small, my teachers actually know my goals. They helped me build a Personalized Graduation Plan that included college classes at CGCC, giving me a massive head start on my bachelor’s degree without the stress of a massive high school campus. 

Sophomore, Concurrent Enrollment Student

CEC Testimonial 1

"Coming to CEC changed everything for me. In just three and a half years, I will not only finish high school, I will walk across the stage with my high school diploma and an Associate Degree from CGCC. The 9-week semesters kept me focused, and the personalized support from my teachers made sure I never felt lost in the fast pace."

Junior, Class of 2027 (December 2026 Graduate)
