The 21st Century Charter School at Gary (21C), a K-12 charter school and is the flagship campus of the Greater Educational Opportunities (GEO) Foundation. GEO is a small charter management organization, founded in 1998 by Kevin Teasley, which today operates five schools in Gary, Indiana, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. GEO focuses on increasing high schoolers' access to college. In this, GEO is similar to schools and systems across the land. Where it is distinctive, and worth a closer look, is how GEO is going about this. Key Points: (1) The 21st Century Charter School at Gary (21C) represents a distinctive approach to bridging the high-school-to-college gap. While it is far too early to say whether it "works," this model of getting students on campus represents a promising strategy that few schools or systems are currently pursuing; (2) 21C's program is unlike most college-credit programs in three key ways: (1) students take courses on college campuses, (2) there is no exclusive partnership between the high school and college, and (3) students are not limited to associate degrees; and (3) Between 2015 and 2018, 173 21C graduates earned a cumulative of 1,720 college credits, 16 students graduated with an associate degree, and one graduated with a bachelor's degree. In 2019, nine students will earn associate degrees, and 66 graduating seniors will have earned 1,250 college credits.
