A Collegiate Academy is a specialized high school program that allows students to earn both a high school diploma and an associate degree (or at least 60 college credit hours) concurrently. This is achieved through a partnership between our district and our local Community College providing students with college-level courses and support services.
Offers an accelerated pathway to College for historically underserved students (i.e. low income students, at-risk students, etc.)
Students can earn required high school credits while earning an Associate’s Degree (AA or AS)
Students take classes together in a cohort for each year of high school. This allows them to get a head start on College coursework and minimize cost!
Application information and application timeline can be found on the Collegiate Academy of McKinney page.
The application for The CAM opens on December 8, 2025.
