SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS |
The Early Childhood Development Center (ECDC) is an elementary school serving students age three through the fifth grade that is
operated jointly by the Corpus Christi Independent School District (CCISD) and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. Located on the university campus, it is the only CCISD school that presents its entire curriculum via dual language instruction. Half of instructional time is in English and half is in Spanish.
Students are admitted to the ECDC
by application. Applicants are selected so that the student body represent the region's socioeconomic and language demographics. 172 students are currently enrolled.

The University Preparatory High School (UPHS) is a collaboration between the Flour Bluff Independent School District and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. The program began in the 2006-2007 school year. Students spend their ninth and 10th grade years taking college preparatory classes on the Flour Bluff campus. In 11th and 12th grade students attend undergraduate classes at TAMUCC, earning up to 60 tuition-free college credit hours while completing their high school requirements.
Admission to the UPHS program is by an application process that gives priority to first-generation college students, students for whom the cost of college would be prohibitive, English language learners, and students who come from underrepresented demographics for college completion. Each year a maximum of 100 students will be admitted.
