What is ECI?
ECI is the Early College Initiative.
Since 2005, QSI has partnered with Queens College CUNY to provide early college experiences for our students. Once in high school, QSI students are given the opportunity to earn up to 62 college credits while simultaneously completing their high school course work. Students who meet prerequisites begin college course work as a cohort in 9th grade. By senior year at QSI, students can independently take courses at Queens College CUNY among college aged students. All of this is at no cost to the student!
As a result of our unique partnership, students’ high school transcripts illustrate both their college and high school courses if taken as a dual course. Through the college courses, students also earn their high school credit requirements. These dual courses allow students to succeed on a college level while still receiving necessary high school support.
