The Early College Studies Program (ECS) is a new and exciting program that is offered to students at Stamford High School. The program provides 45 ninth-grade students with the opportunity to graduate high school and earn an associate degree in a technology-based field in four to six years. The program is focused on providing an in-depth, technology-based education that will prepare students for success in a variety of fields. As part of the ECS program, SPEF is partnering volunteers from NatWest Markets with the high school students to meet one-on-one for eight sessions throughout the academic year.
