Early College of Alaska relies upon a firm partnership between the charter school and the University of Alaska.
The necessary pieces of the partnership include:

• Funding provided by the State of Alaska through the school charter law
• Classroom space provided by the University
• Qualified students welcomed into University classes
• Integration with the daily and annual University schedule
• University facilities such as laboratories, libraries and cafeterias are available for ECA students and teachers.

There will be finer details to negotiate once the request to charter is approved by the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District. However, the above list should be considered the foundation on which the Early College of Alaska must be built.
