Toledo Early College High School offers a college preparatory program that focuses on a liberal arts program. The curriculum is designed to accelerate students into college courses at the University of Toledo, beginning with the freshman school year. Students take two years of English, up to three years of mathematics and science and two years of social studies at the high school level. All other
courses, including electives and foreign language are taken at the University of Toledo. Students can earn up to 60 college credits during the four-year high school experience. College-level courses and required textbooks are provided at no cost to students. College courses qualify for dual credits, allowing them to be counted for high school and college credits. Students will earn credits that will be recorded officially on TPS and UT transcripts. Students who qualify for this unique program and opportunity will be required to meet one of four requirements:
1. English as a Second Language Learner (ESL)
3. Eligible for free or reduced lunch program
The Toledo Early College High School schedule is closely aligned with the UT calendar. Recruitment of students is held twice a year, once in October and once in January.
