graduate early?

This isn’t the same thing as graduating early, but Bard College at Simon’s Rock ([Home — Bard College at Simon’s Rock - The Early College](http://www.simons-rock.edu)) is an interesting option for those students who are ready for the challenges of college immediately after the 10th or 11th grade.

There are other options out there for students looking for academic and intellectual challenges (dual enrollment, online courses, IB track, etc.), but Simon’s Rock is different. As the only 4-year college in the country entirely devoted to the early college model, Simon’s Rock students choose to start college because they want to be around peers who are just as excited about learning as they are.

They are academically prepared, intellectually curious, and mature emotionally and socially. These students thrive on challenge and desire to be taken seriously as thinkers and scholars.

Being “ready” for college is about much more than a GPA, a test score, or a biological age. For those who are ready for college now - why wait?

I hope these thoughts help. Being aware of available options can be very powerful.

The Office of Admission is still accepting applications for the fall 2011 class so give them a call for more information (1800.235.7186).
