Oakland Early College (OEC) is an Early College High School serving students throughout Oakland County. It represents an extraordinary partnership between the West Bloomfield School District and Oakland Community College's Orchard Ridge campus. OEC students (grades 9-13) attend high school on OCC's campus, and engage in an exciting college-preparatory curriculum taught by teachers from award-winning West Bloomfield School District.

Like most Early College High Schools, OEC seeks to bridge the gap between high school and college. To that end, dual enrollment opportunities are a core feature of every student's experience at OEC. Our goal is for each student to graduate with a high school diploma, innovative educational and professional experiences in a small school environment, and up to 60 transferable college credits towards their undergraduate degree, and/or an Associate Degree from Oakland Community College.

Students at OEC are encouraged to select specific areas of academic focus, and to work towards Associate Degrees and/or other programs of study in areas of study including (but not limited to) liberal arts; fine and performing arts; and business and entrepreneurship. All 130+ degree pathways at OCC are available to OEC students.
