You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Bard High School Early College''' (BHSEC) is a series of [[Early college high school|early college]] schools with multiple campuses in the United States, enrolling approximately 3,000 students across all campuses.<ref>((Cite web |last=Relations |first=Bard Public |title=Bard High School Early College Opens Its Bronx Campus |url=https://www.bard.edu/news/details/?id=19528&prefurl=bard-high-school-early-college-opens-its-bronx-campus-2023-08-31 |access-date=2023-09-01 |website=www.bard.edu |language=en))</ref> The schools allow students to begin their college studies two years early, graduating with a Bard College [[Associate degree|Associate in Arts degree]] in addition to their [[high school diploma]]. Students complete their high school studies in the ninth and tenth grade, after which they begin taking credit-bearing college courses under the same roof. Unlike some [[Dual enrollment|dual-enrollment]] programs, students stay on the same campus for all four years, and both high school- and college-level courses are taught by the same faculty. Teachers at the Bard High School Early Colleges are both certified public school teachers as well as experienced academic scholars, often holding [[terminal degree]]s in their areas of study.

The first campus, Bard High School Early College Manhattan, opened in [[New York City]] in 2001 as a partnership between [[Bard College]] and various local public school systems. There are now eight Bard High School Early College campuses across the country. 

The Bard High School Early Colleges are part of a larger network of early college programs run by [[Bard College]], called the Bard Early Colleges, which also include half-day programs in [[New Orleans, Louisiana]]; in partnership with the [[Harlem Children's Zone]] in New York City; and in [[Hudson, New York]].

==Admissions==
BHSEC has a conventional admissions process. Applicants must maintain a B letter grade of 85 percent or higher to be considered. Bard has its own academic standards, and if a student meets them, they will be called to a one-on-one interview. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, admissions interviews have been replaced by student-made short personal videos. There is also an essay-writing requirement for admission.[https://bhsec.bard.edu/manhattan/admission/assessment/]

==History==
Founded in 2001 as a partnership of the [[New York City Department of Education]] and [[Bard College]] and funded in part by the [[Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation]], Bard High School Early College Manhattan was the first public Bard Early College. But the early college model and many of the teaching philosophies employed at the Bard Early Colleges were primarily developed at [[Bard College at Simon's Rock]], the oldest [[early college entrance program]] and only [[NEASC|accredited]] [[Bachelor's degree|four-year]] early college to date.

BHSEC Manhattan was the first school in the Gates Foundation's Early College High School Initiative, which aims to improve education in the U.S. by introducing smaller public high schools that help remove barriers to college education by offering students a college education in a high school setting.

As of 2023, over 4,000 A.A. degrees have been awarded at BHSEC campuses.<ref>((Cite web |last=Relations |first=Bard Public |title=Bard High School Early College Opens Its Bronx Campus |url=https://www.bard.edu/news/details/?id=19528&prefurl=bard-high-school-early-college-opens-its-bronx-campus-2023-08-31 |access-date=2023-09-01 |website=www.bard.edu |language=en))</ref> The schools have a 98% high school graduation rate and a 95% A.A. degree attainment rate. Many BHSEC graduates transfer their 60+ college credits to another college or university and finish their [[Bachelor of Arts]] (B.A.) degree in two more years; others opt to study for three or four years in their subsequent institutions. According to the National Student Clearinghouse, the six-year B.A. attainment rate for the classes of 2005-2009 was 98%.

==School structure==

===High school (9th & 10th grades)===
In the BHSEC program, students spend what is traditionally ninth and tenth grade finishing the bulk of their high school work. Students are encouraged to take all required state testing by the end of 10th grade, when possible – in New York City, students take the five [[Regents exam]]s required for the High School Regents diploma, which they receive in addition to the Associates of Arts degree from Bard College. But unlike most public high schools, BHSEC does not offer courses tailored to prepare students for state tests, nor does it offer [[Advanced Placement]] (AP) or [[International Baccalaureate]] (IB) courses (as the last two years are already spent in an accredited college program). In order to complete the high school curriculum in two years, courses are taught at an accelerated pace.

BHSEC does not rank its students, name a valedictorian, or maintain a dean's list.

===Early College Program (11th & 12th grades)===
The two years spent in the college program are called "Year 1" and "Year 2". As a college program, students may select their courses based primarily on their academic interests and preferences for certain professors, but they must also meet the college program's core requirements. These include four semesters of the Bard Seminar, in which students read and discuss seminal works of western thought, from [[Plato]] and the classics through [[Shakespeare]] and ending in [[postmodernism]]. Students are also required to complete two semesters of math, two semesters of laboratory science, one semester of a U.S. history course, one semester of a world history course, two semesters of literature, and two semesters of a foreign language (at least one at intermediate level) and three arts credits. Students may also create their own courses with the independent study program, provided that a faculty member is knowledgeable in the subject, awarding one to three credits, depending on the amount of college-level reading completed. Every semester, a student must take 14-18 credits. With permission from the [[Dean (education)|dean]], students may take more than 18 credits in a semester. Students can also transfer credits from other universities to meet their requirements for the college program.

BHSEC's college program offers classes that are more specialized than in the high school program, such as [[linear algebra]], reason and politics, [[Dostoyevsky]]'s novels, [[philosophy of religion]], [[physics]] of sound and music, the [[social contract]] and its critics, [[criminal law]] through literature, and culture and history of food. These courses are taught by college professors, many of whom have published books and articles in their fields. College course offerings are based on faculty members' interest and expertise.

=== Writing and Thinking Workshop ===
At all of Bard College's campuses and programs, the school year begins with a Writing and Thinking Workshop. The length of these workshops has varied over time and across campuses, from as long as a week to only three or four days. Students spend each day engaging in critical reading, writing, and thinking exercises that are employed in the classroom throughout the school year. It is an opportunity to introduce new students to and refamiliarize current students with BHSEC's academic environment.

Teaching at the Bard Early Colleges employs practices developed at the Bard Institute for Writing and Thinking to advance the philosophy that “Writing is both a record of completed thought and an exploratory process that supports teaching and learning across disciplines. At all levels writing allows the writer to discover what she or he wants to say.” Students and their teachers write together using various classroom exercises and teaching methods to respond to texts reflecting diverse genres, voices, and perspectives. This written dialog then becomes the basis for classroom discussion.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://cec.bard.edu/pedagogy/methods.php|title=Our Methods ((!))

==Recognition==
In 2009, President [[Barack Obama]] singled out BHSEC as the model for the future in his Centennial Speech to the [[NAACP]]:

<blockquote>We also have to explore innovative approaches such as those being pursued here in New York City; innovations like Bard High School Early College and Medgar Evers College Preparatory School that are challenging students to complete high school and earn a free associate's degree or college credit in just four years.<ref>((cite web |title=Remarks by the President to the NAACP Centennial Convention 07/16/2009 |url=https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/remarks-president-naacp-centennial-convention-07162009 |website=whitehouse.gov |access-date=9 July 2020 |language=en |date=17 July 2009))</ref></blockquote>
