The Rockwood School District established the Early College Partnership (ECP) in collaboration with St. Louis Community College – Wildwood.
This partnership allows current Rockwood high school students to obtain an associate degree while fulfilling their Missouri graduation requirements. The ECP is a two-year, full-immersion, dual-enrollment program.
The ECP is open to students at all four Rockwood high schools. Applications are available online and in high school counselor's offices.
During their enrollment in the ECP, students still have access to their full-time Rockwood high school counselor, as well as their college advisor. They will also have access to the STLCC-Wildwood Student Resource Center, library and computer labs, as well as student clubs and campus activities. Students will follow the STLCC academic calendar and are required to be in attendance for all classes.
.The application deadline has closed.
.Please note this firm deadline as late applications will not be accepted. However, all applications will be equally considered as long as they are submitted by the deadline.
