SCHOOL PURPOSE

I assumed the school would be 9-12 th and off er college credits.

I did not realize it was only 10-12 th grade and that they only off ered specific associate degree programs

I also didn’t realize they would graduate with an associates degree.

I think this school is great for students who have a very specific career in mind.

Based on research I would say this school is progressive, it is very student centered.
