The opportunity to create my high school schedule out of college classes, for both high school and college credit was amazing. I allocated time where I thought it was needed, allowing me to get a job, and specializing in career fields not offered at the high school. The teachers were also extremely understanding, working with me to specialize the curriculum so that it progressed my, individual learning journey.

One of the best aspects of middle college is the individualized attention each student gets from their teacher. They work hard to meet the academic needs of every student are always there to offer assistance when we need it.
