Stokes Early College

Stokes Early College opened in the Fall of 2009 with 48 ninth grade students; each year will admit another fifty students until there are grades nine through twelve. It is a public school that draws from Stokes County Schools but is selective in admissions and it is an opportunity provided to Stokes County residents but residency does not insure the right to participate. The first principal is James Via who came to the Early College from London Elementary.


Students at Stokes Early College experience a rigorous academic schedule throughout all five years.
The underclass schedule very rigorous with the expectation that most of their high school credits will be attained by the time the enter their junior year.Classes are taught on a modified block schedule with holidays that align with Forsyth Tech's schedule. All students have dual enrollment; they are enrolled in both Forsyth Tech and in the Stokes County school system. Juniors and Seniors take classes largely at Forsyth Tech, which count towards their remaining high school credits as well as college credits. Upon admission within the University of North Carolina system, many enter as freshmen with credit and become a junior their second year in the university.
