Bladen Early College High School is an accelerated high school program which offers educational opportunities for rising ninth (9th) graders of Bladen and surrounding counties.  These students will be provided ways to prepare for a successful career pathway by furthering their high school academics as well as college endeavors Students will complete their high school diploma and be eligible to earn certificates, diplomas, or degrees at the college level,  in order to achieve their goals in the workforce or academics.
