JPEC Partners with Albion College
When a student graduates from Jackson Preparatory & Early College (JPEC), the only public school academy in Michigan located on a college campus they’ve already saved $17,000 in college tuition and fees and completed two years of higher ed.
Through our partnership with Albion College, a Falcon can earn even more college credit towards a bachelor’s degree, and we’ll cover the cost!
300 & 400 Level College Courses
“In Michigan traditional dual enrollment is capped at 15 credits. Most Early Colleges offer up to 60 credits. At JPEC we don’t cap. We have students earning 100+ college credits.” -Jonathon Marowelli, President
Every JPEC Falcon graduates with a high school diploma and an associate’s degree through dual enrollment with Jackson College. Because we offer a 13th year, students here can pursue upper level college coursework at Albion College and take junior and senior level classes without paying a dime!
Albion College is located just a ½ hour from Jackson and offers a personalized liberal arts education with programs in the sciences, business, and humanities. The annual tuition and fees add up to $58,500, but a JPEC Falcon pays $ZERO to attend.
Accelerate to Achieve
Competency-based learning enables JPEC students to accelerate and move more quickly through their education because it’s what you know how to do, not just what you know.
“If a student is accelerating and earning their associate’s degree in 11th grade, they can dual enroll at Albion and take 300 and 400 level classes and earn almost all their bachelor’s degree before they graduate – free to students.” -Jonathon Marowelli, President
JPEC students dual-enrolled at Albion College are taking courses like:
analytical physics
history
civics
upper level chemistry
Spanish
creative writing
Our graduates who have attended Albion are now lawyers, engineers, and artists. There’s even an organic chemist among our alumni.
“This is such a rich opportunity for our students. There are so many things to pursue. Those who are with us for the long haul do really, really well.” -Jonathon Marowelli, President
Jackson Preparatory & Early College is still accepting students for the 2025-2026 school year, but space is filling quickly. Enroll now. It’s worth it!
