OVERVIEWThe Kingsborough Early College School
(KECS) is a small, personal school where all students may have the
opportunity to earn a tuition-free Associates Degree from Kingsborough
Community College (KCC) during their time in secondary school. We offer
instructional supports, small class size and access to the KCC campus
as early as 6th grade. To promote higher order thinking, students learn
through inquiry, enrichment and a challenging academic program. Our
focus on youth development fosters confidence and self advocacy
resulting in students becoming successful adults, prepared to continue
their studies.
