The Office of Admission at Bard High School Early College is committed to recruiting highly motivated young adults from all five boroughs of New York City. It is our goal to provide our students with a challenging liberal arts curriculum-one that fosters and cultivates their intellectual curiosity and creativity. To ensure the individual success of students in our Early College program, we carefully consider the results of a math and writing assessment before interviewing eligible candidates for admission. We seek to admit those applicants who demonstrate maturity, intellectual curiosity, and a love of learning.

Academic Expectations

Accepted BHSEC students can look forward to completing most of the high school program and the required New York State Regents Exams in the first two years. Qualified ninth and tenth grade students are eligible for entry into the early college program. At the end of four years, students will have completed 60 college credits and received the Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree in the liberal arts and sciences from Bard College as well as a New York State Regents diploma.

Open Houses

Prospective students and their parents may visit a BHSEC campus during an Open House or Information Session to find out more about the school.

If you are unable to come to our spring events, we will be hosting additional events in the fall.  Please be aware that space is limited. We request that you only attend one event at each campus and that you limit the number of people in your party.  Please check our website later for registration information for our fall events.
Thank you!

Assessments

We invite you to take your assessment at either campus.  No matter which location you take the assessment, you can still choose to apply to either school, or better your chances of admittance the a BHSEC program by applying to both!   We try to make it as convenient as possible for you so that if you are applying to both campuses, you only need to take the exam one time.


Please consult our admissions requirements before signing up for an assessment. Check this site for Fall 2011 Assessment dates, beginning August 31st .
