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.

Options are dependent on current student interest and initiative and are thus variable and limited based on the small student body, but teachers are very supportive of students who want to start a new club or activity, and students can generally find activities they're interested in. Of course, the strength of AFE is that they have the opportunity to participate in clubs and activities outside of school as well.
