BNL Early College
BNL Early College is a program that allows students to complete courses at BNL and receive both high school and college credit for their efforts. Additionally, the Early College program provides students with extensive supports in order to help students succeed in high school, become college-ready, and succeed in college and beyond.
The vision of the Bedford North Lawrence High School is that each student will continuously excel in a global society by being a self-motivated learner, a critical thinker, an effective communicator, a skilled collaborator, a responsible and culturally aware citizen, and a technologically capable creator. Early College works to create graduates who are college and career ready and simultaneously makes students’ future goals attainable through tremendous financial and time savings.
Early college provides an excellent opportunity for students to earn college credits while simultaneously developing skills and dispositions necessary for success after high school graduation.
BNL is proud to be the home of STELLAR SCHOLARS. Stellar Scholars is BNL's early college cohort of students that is eligible for many of our early college supports.
