So what? • I assumed the school would be 9-12th and offer college credits. • I did not realize it was only 10-12th grade and that they only offered 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.
