AFE is perfect for students who don't "fit in" in a comprehensive high school. you get the chance to participate in clubs and sports on a smaller scale, so if sports are your thing a bigger school might be better. you can take classes online, on your own, with a parent teaching you or at AFE or the community college cabrillo. I love it because I didn't have a great time at a big school and AFE made me feel welcomed and gives me the opportunity and time to do the things i like during the day. It's a public high school, but also a homeschool.

AFE is not for everyone, but for students who are committed to educational exploration, independent study, and autonomy thrive in this environment.
9/8/2013
My experience at this school was a mixed one. My freshman year was the best year of my life, and my teacher was amazing. After he retired, I was switched teachers and it went downhill from there. The teachers and I clashed constantly and one teacher had such a large disdain for me that when I asked her for assistance filling out college applications she told me: "There was no point in applying because you won't get in. You're just not good enough." I was more appalled that this was coming from a professional educator than I was that she had even said it to me. I honestly don't feel as though this school prepared me for the college world in the slightest. If I could do it over again, I don't know if I would go there again.

This is an amazing community and my son has been given the flexibility in his education to redefine his experience of learning. There is an incredible staff who genuinely go the extra mile to make a real connection with not just my son but me as his parent/educator too. Being able to tap into clubs,...

My children loved their time at this school!

AFE is a great homeschool / classes hybrid. You can do their classes or go on your own, but they have a great community to help kids and parents with homeschooling.

I love any type of schooling that does not submit kids to standardized testing.
