The Early College Program is a partnership between Virginia Peninsula and three school divisions - Newport News Public Schools, Williamsburg/James City County Schools, and the York County School Division. Eligible high school seniors begin college coursework during the fall semester at their high school and transition to the campus of Virginia Peninsula in the spring to continue their studies.
