      Historical Info:

      Isaac Bear Early College High School (IBEC) opened in the fall of 2006 as a partnership between the N C. New Schools Project, New Hanover County Schools and UNCW, with its location in Snipes Elementary School. IBEC relocated to the UNCW campus in May 2007.

      Function and Purpose:
      • Isaac Bear Early College High School is a New Hanover County high school and is neither a department nor a division of UNCW.
      • As an early college high school, students participate in an accelerated high school education program, which offers honors courses to prepare students for college. In the first two years of the program, students complete their required high school courses to prepare them to take courses at the university. In the final two years of the program, students will take courses at UNCW with the support of the staff at Isaac Bear Early College High School. Successful students will graduate from this program with a high school diploma and up to 60 college credits.
