University View Academy still accepting enrollment for new, early college program

University View Academy, the state’s leading provider of high-quality, free public online charter schooling for grades K through 12, still has spots available in its new Early College program. 

The Early College program offers the ability for each accepted high school student to achieve an associate’s degree and high school diploma upon graduation through University View’s online platform.  

Mandy B. LaCerte, the school’s Director of Early College and Workforce Development, said, “We are excited to have an innovative program that is the first of its kind in Louisiana and one of the first nationally online. Statistics show that graduates of this program will be successful in their post-secondary endeavors.

“Enrollment spaces quickly filled since our initial announcement regarding the Early College Program and we encourage interested students to complete the application process as soon as possible due to limited remaining spaces."
 
University View Academy, formerly Louisiana Connections Academy, serves approximately 2300 students with a high-quality public education provided by certified Louisiana teachers. The instructors within the Early College program meet SACSCOC credentials in addition to secondary teacher certification.
The K-14 program is limited to pre-qualified high school students.

“The bonus each student gets from our school is we orient him or her towards their best future and help that student expand his or her ability to get a quality education or job after graduation,” said University View Academy Superintendent Dr. Lonnie Luce. “For parents, we’re also saving the student two years of advanced education costs, so four years of TOPS dollars are still available to our graduates.”

Parents can enroll their child online now at: www.UniversityView.Academy or call 225-421-2900. The school also suggests checking the website for the latest information on online and in-person information sessions and other news.
