Watershed School was an amazing experience. It prepared me for life and college. As well as the real world. However it didn't prepare me much for a career in STEM. That could be improved upon.

Watershed is a great school with good experiential learning. Lots of trips in and out of country to get real hands on learning. Teachers are engaging and care about the students.
