School Overview

Genesee Early College (GEC) is a unique, five-year public high school located on the campus of the University of Michigan-Flint. Designed as an early/middle college program, it allows students to earn both their high school diploma and up to two years of transferable college credit—or an associate degree—simultaneously. By integrating a rigorous high school curriculum with actual university coursework, the school aims to bridge the gap between secondary and higher education, providing students with a head start on their professional or academic careers at no cost to families.

The school is noted for its focus on preparing students for the demands of a university environment within a supportive, smaller community setting. Because GEC is situated in downtown Flint, students benefit from full access to university resources, including libraries, labs, and campus facilities. This model is particularly beneficial for students who are motivated to accelerate their education, as it fosters independence, time management, and academic maturity, effectively transitioning them from a high school learner to a college-ready scholar before they graduate.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
