Dayspring Early College Academy

at Pasco-Hernando State College

A Head Start to College

Dayspring's Early College Program

At Dayspring Academy, our Early College learners in grades 11–12 experience the best of both worlds through our unique partnership with Pasco-Hernando State College (PHSC). Learners attend school on the PHSC campus, where they have access to dedicated Dayspring classrooms and student spaces for courses taught by Dayspring faculty while becoming fully immersed in the college environment through courses taught by PHSC professors.

This collaborative approach allows learners to earn both their high school diploma and an Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree in a safe, supportive, and student-centered environment. Throughout their journey, Dayspring Academy staff maintain an on-site office at PHSC, providing personalized academic support, mentoring, and guidance to ensure every learner is equipped for success.

While learners enjoy the independence and opportunities of a college campus, they remain part of the Dayspring family. Our dedicated team continues to foster the relationships, encouragement, and accountability that define the Dayspring experience.

Our Early College Program reflects the core values that shape every learner's journey:

  • We hold ourselves to the highest standards of learning and achievement, embracing challenges as opportunities to strengthen our knowledge, skills, and character.

  • Discovery begins with curiosity. We encourage learners to think boldly, solve problems creatively, and pursue new ideas with confidence and purpose.

  • We are stronger together than apart. Through collaboration with classmates, Dayspring educators, and PHSC faculty, learners build meaningful relationships and achieve more than they could alone.

  • We strive to learn something new every day. By earning college credits while completing high school, learners expand their knowledge, embrace new experiences, and prepare for limitless opportunities.

  • We lead with respect and integrity. Learners are empowered to use their knowledge, talents, and character to make a positive difference in their communities and beyond.

At Dayspring Academy, Early College is more than earning college credits—it's an opportunity to graduate prepared for college, career, and life with the confidence, character, and support to thrive.
