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 exposure to seminar style
discussions, independent learning,and other methods necessary for
success in our accelerated academic program. In 11th and 12th
grade, students may take advantage of our dual enrollment
relationships and college-levelcourses thanks to our established
partnerships with local institutions like Regis College, Stonehill
College, and UMASS Boston. Our EC emphasis enables each Fontbonne
student theability 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 acurriculum
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 aboutreal world
issues through our frequent Community Circles. Like so many
opportunities at Fontbonne, these efforts are student-driven and
student-led. With EC, our highly-educated faculty empower young
women to be architects of their ownlearning. Within and beyond the
classroom, students can engage in ways that encompass allaspects of
the EC experience. We are especially proud of our World Language
programs. Through this initiative, our Spanish students can
participate in a week-long service program in Puerto Rico. Our
French students can travel to Annecy, France and explore the
beautiful region. In both programs, students live with students at
the host school, immersing themselves in the language and culture.
Our French students host their French sisters as part of the
exchange. These are just a few of the distinct ways that Fontbonne
is the only Early College of Boston.
