North Wake College and Career Academy (NWCCA) is an innovative early college high school. The school is a partnership between Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) and Wake Tech Community College (WTCC). Our rigorous and innovative educational approach utilizes Project Based Learning (PBL). PBL is a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period to investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging and complex real-world question, problem, or challenge.
