Your future 9th grader will have the chance in the Fall of 2024. Smart Scholar Early College High School Programs: Teaching Pathway and Game Programming Pathway provides your child the opportunity to earn a minimum of 25 COLLEGE CREDITS while in high school at NO COST. The program is completely FREE for incoming 9th grade students. While there are limited spots available, this program can open doors for your child's future.
Your scholar will have the opportunity to get a head start on college and career by taking college courses offered at Newburgh Free Academy through our partnership with SUNY Orange and Mount Saint Mary College.
