School Notes
Through Fontbonne`s holistic approach to educating the whole
person, our Early College (EC) program begins with 7th grade where
our students are given essential skills, setting them up for
success in high school. Our curriculum in 9th and 10th Grades
focuses on enhancing this foundation with seminar style and
independent learning... identified as necessary for success in our
accelerated academic program. In Grades 11 and 12, students may
take advantage of our dual enrollment relationships and
college-level courses. Our EC emphasis enables each Fontbonne
student the ability to attain transferable college credit while
cultivating those distinct characteristics, attributes, and skills
she would not have acquired until her first years in college.
But Early College means so much more than just acquiring
college credits. Our EC is built upon a student-centered pedagogy,
with experiential learning, interdisciplinary courses, and a
curriculum taught through a lens of diversity, equity, and
inclusion. Exposed to concepts like restorative justice and self
advocacy, our students are able to lead genuine conversations about
real world issues through our frequent Community Circles. Like so
many opportunities at Fontbonne, these efforts are student-driven
and student-led.
