Early College

Faith Bible Early College (FBEC) is an enhanced dual enrollment program providing accelerated college preparation and guidance within a family-oriented, faith-based learning community.
 
No longer will early college students have to give up what makes high school extra special. FBEC students will still enjoy a full campus life, including sports, extracurricular activities, retreats, fine arts, student leadership, worship, ministry, and school dances.
 
Students will attend classes on the Faith Bible High School campus following a schedule aligned with the high school, permitting ongoing academic and spiritual support, and continuity with their
high school experience.
 
The curriculum, delivered in cooperation with professors from Grand Canyon University and Portland Community College, will enable students to fulfill general education requirements for a four-year college degree and work towards their Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer degree. Students will also benefit from the relationships and support they will receive from on-site teachers.

  • Full High School Experience

    FBEC is a totally unique high school experience! With other programs, if students want to get ahead, they must choose to give up all the special and unique things about high school. But we believe that high school is a once in a lifetime experience, with invaluable opportunities to build relationships, learn important life skills, and grow emotionally and spiritually. We say, don't give up high school just to get ahead!

    FBEC students will enjoy a fully enriched campus life experience with every other Faith Bible High School student. They can continue to be part of the activities they love and try new ones, too! They will have full access to sports, drama, choir, student leadership, worship team, ministry team, school dances, and everything else so unique to this time in life.
