While other schools focus on college preparation, our students are college students. Our Frank L. Madla Early College High School on the Palo Alto College campus serves students in grades 9 – 12. Our students are immersed in college courses with other Palo Alto College students. Upon graduation, our students walk the stage receiving both their Distinguished High School Diplomas and their Associate’s Degrees from our partner, Palo Alto College – all at no cost to their families. Their accomplishments are the foundation of scholastic excellence for the students who will follow.

9th - 12th grade.

Our schools are tuition-free, public charter schools. We operate at no cost to families. Students enrolled in our Early College High School also attend without cost.
