| Valdosta Early College Academy (VECA) is a
school within the Valdosta City School System in
partnership with Valdosta State University.
Early College Schools are small schools designed
so that students earn both a high school diploma
and up to 60 semester hours of college credit by
the end of 12th grade.
Admission
and Eligibility
Students will
be nominated for admission based on several
criteria: standardized test results, attendance,
and recommendations from current teachers and
principals. Valdosta Early College Academy has a
strong academic focus and fosters an expectation
that all students enrolled will attend college.

A blend of

facilitate the success of all students who bring
the required effort and dedication to the
program. In order to remain in VECA, students
must maintain clear goals for academic
excellence leading toward high school completion
and post-secondary education.
Curriculum
All students
will take a rigorous, technology-integrated
curriculum to include language arts, math,
science, social studies, and connection classes.
Academic support will be provided by VSU
faculty, students, and academy teachers.
Parent
Participation
Parents will
be expected to support the mission of VECA and
will be provided ongoing opportunities for
involvement in VECA activities.

be expected to adhere to the rules as published
in the Student Handbook and Student Code of
Conduct, including dress code requirements.
