India's first early college access program — giving any student in Grade 8 through Grade 12, on any Indian school board, access to a US-accredited transcript and credit-bearing courses from 350+ American university partners. Students stay in their current school. The program adds a credential and credit-building layer on top of the education already underway — it does not replace any part of it.
No. Go Early College is an early college access program — not a school. Your child remains enrolled in their current school throughout. The AWS Dual Diploma appears alongside your child's existing school record — not instead of it.
In one critical way: the transcript. Every other program in India trains for exams or coaches for interviews. Go Early College is the only program that issues a real, WASC-accredited US High School transcript to a mainstream Indian school student. Without that transcript, none of the 350+ university partnerships, credit transfers, or degree milestones are possible.
An American High School Diploma issued by American World School — WASC-accredited and UGC-equivalent. When your child enrols in Go Early College, they are simultaneously enrolled as a student of American World School. This gives them a legitimate US student record — the foundation that all credit-bearing coursework and university recognition is built on.
All of them. CBSE, ICSE, State Board, IB, IGCSE, and any other school curriculum. The Go Early College program sits alongside whatever curriculum your child is already following.
Yes. American World School holds direct WASC accreditation — the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. WASC is one of six regional accrediting bodies in the United States and the standard American universities use to evaluate transfer credit. Our accreditation certificates are available for download on the About page.
Yes. The AWS diploma carries UGC equivalence — formally recognised by India's University Grants Commission as equivalent to an Indian Higher Secondary Certificate.
Three ways. Download our WASC accreditation certificate from the About page. Verify American World School's accreditation directly at wascsr.org. Speak to enrolled families or partner school principals — we will connect you directly.
A MOOC is a completion record — not graded by accredited faculty, not on an official US transcript, not transferable to university credit. A Go Early College credit is graded by US faculty, on a WASC-accredited transcript, and transferable to degree programs across the United States.
No. Not for a single day. Same school. Same board. Same teachers. Same exams. Nothing changes. Go Early College is a credential layer — not a school transfer.
3 to 5 hours per week per course. Online. Self-paced. Completable on evenings, weekends, and school holidays. No commute. No in-person class.
Our counsellors monitor workload proactively. If they see academic stress, they adjust the course load before it becomes a problem.
Yes — with care. Counsellors recommend lighter loads during Grade 10 and Grade 12 board periods and build the schedule around the school academic calendar.
3 to 4 real, transferable US college credits per completed course — depending on the course. Every credit is documented on the official WASC-accredited US transcript.
Yes. Credits are stackable, transferable, and permanent — they never expire. 60 credits = Associate Degree. 120 credits = Bachelor's Degree.
Transfer policy is set by each university individually. Because our credits are regionally accredited, they are broadly accepted. Our admissions team confirms transfer policy for every university on your child's target list before any course is recommended.
AP courses demonstrate readiness. Go Early College coursework is actual, completed, transferable credit. An AP score says 'could probably do college work.' A GEC transcript says 'has already done it.'
Credits remain permanent. The transcript also holds UGC equivalence — a legitimate credential in both educational systems.
Program fees are shared in full during the free admissions consultation. The program pays for itself at 6 credits earned — 6 US credit hours at an American university cost more than most GEC annual fees.
Yes. Merit-based awards, need-based aid, early enrolment discounts, sibling discounts (10% for second child), and referral credits. All discussed during the admissions consultation.
Yes. Monthly and quarterly payment plans available. Our admissions team will find a structure that fits.
