It is a very small school which gives you more time with teachers and staff. You actually develop a personal relationship with them so they see if you struggle and immediately help you. I have some medical conditions and need to be off school. The faculty checked in with me and made sure I had everything I needed to complete my work.

My experience going to Air Force Academy High School would be good because I had teacher and friends who support in school work I did not understand and well as felt respected. Being a student in Air Force Academy made me feel at home because you could be yourself and you could find people that can relate to you.
