A positive school culture is very important to the success of a school.  At Person Early College, we are interested in all of our students' success.  Learning will be a cooperative effort delivered through caring relationships.

Our school culture is defined by a personalized and caring learning environment where administration and staff work closely with families to address student concerns, needs, and progress within our program. The school year begins with an integrated bridge program designed to ease students' transition into the college environment. This program lays the foundation for positive relationships among students and staff through engaging team-building activities and enjoyable, interactive learning experiences.

We believe that fostering strong, positive relationships is key to student success—not only within our Early College academic program but also in their future academic and life endeavors. At our school, relationships truly matter. These connections inspire and motivate our students to AIM High—Always Imagine More!—a motto that reflects our commitment to helping every student reach their full potential.

​A collaboration between Person County Schools and Piedmont Community College that provides a seamless transition from high school to college and/or career.

​A small learning community where administration, staff, and students know each other.  Students learn in a cohort of 17 -25 students per class.

​A unique learning experience with a curricular focus on service learning, character/leadership, STEM with rigorous accelerated learning opportunities.  There are no athletic, chorus or art programs for students to participate in, however, there are clubs and other organizations that students may join throughout their matriculation.  There are no bells.  Students are immersed in a college going culture that encourages self-advocacy, self-regulation, accountability and perseverance through challenges. A Blended learning instructional model is used that incorporates project based inquiry and linked learning in all courses. As a result, there are opportunities for internships with community business partners, field trips to businesses and colleges, service learning projects (local, regional, national and international)  and activities. Leadership opportunities are provided through a variety of community service, service learning activities, clubs and organizations, competitive events, student led conferences, school improvement team and through the use of a character/leadership curriculum.
