About Our School...

Chandler Early College is a non-traditional high school program housed on the campus of Chandler-Gilbert Community College and operated through the Chandler Unified School District. This partnership gives CEC students the opportunity to benefit from both entities.

Chandler Early College was designed for students who are motivated and driven to obtain a college education. CEC offers the ability to take high school and college courses at the same time, determine a program of study, and the potential to complete up to the first year of an Associate's Degree while still in high school.

Located on the CGCC campus, students are encouraged to participate in college life, as well as focus on their high school courses in a supportive, individualized environment.
