Before you get started, be sure to learn about the application process, review the application FAQs and check out the application essay rubric at lcti.org. Applications are scored on a 100-point rubric, and the essay is worth 60 points, so don’t skip this step!
The priority deadline for submitting your application is March 1. Note: Completed applications aren’t submitted until LCTI receives a response to the parent-approval email. Parents/guardians should keep an eye out for that message in their email inboxes.

Applications for LCTI’s future educators program for 2026-27 are now being accepted. The intensive, dual-enrollment program provides students with an opportunity to earn 14 tuition-free credits toward a bachelor’s degree during their senior year of high school. Students will observe and engage in public schools across the Lehigh Valley. Learning to develop and then deliver lessons in K-12 classrooms is part of the program curriculum. Students also have opportunities to step out of the classroom and into less traditional learning spaces like Da Vinci Science Center and Lehigh Valley Zoo.
LCCC courses are built around high school schedules.
Submit an application before the March 1 deadline.
Visit lcti.org for more information.
