Middle School Students & Families!

Start Dreaming. Start Planning. Start Now.

Is it ever too early to dream about the future? Nope! Thinking about what you want to be when you grow up is fun and exciting. So, thinking about how you will get there makes perfect sense. Going to college and earning a certificate or a degree is key to most professional jobs. What is college? It is best to think about college as a series of steps and an experience that prepares you with skills for your future. 

Early College Worcester (ECW) offers free college courses and support programs to Worcester public high school students so that students and parents can learn how college supports their dreams. The program is simple. Worcester students can take college courses while in high school, earning both high school and college credits for the same class. At every step students are supported by specialized programs, counseling, and mentorship. 

Think of ECW as joining a high school team, and our goal is your success. You know what we say in Early College Worcester? 

Start Now. Finish Strong.
