W. Charles Akins Early College High School is proud to offer students a challenging, rigorous curriculum in all of our classrooms. For students who want to further challenge themselves, or who wish to earn college credit while in high school, we offer Pre-Advanced Placement, Advanced Placement, UT OnRamps Dual Enrollment, and ACC Dual Credit courses. These courses require a student to complete work outside of the classroom, and some courses have pre-requisites that must be first met. Incoming 9th graders can also choose to join the Early College High School Academy (one of our seven amazing academies, each focused on specific career interests) to have the opportunity to earn an associate's degree for free while in high school (general studies, realty, or teaching). Please contact Ms. Christine Kesling (christine.kesling@austinisd.org) with any questions about advanced academics at W. Charles Akins Early College High School.
