High school was not the wonder years that I am supposed to look back on. If I could do it over, and I am hoping this is what my daughter will do:
Co-enrollment in high school and at the community college. Each college unit is worth three high school credits. The best part is that a student who is co-enrolled only pays about the amount of ONE unit to be enrolled in TWELVE units (full-time) at the community college.
This offers some options; 1.) The student can graduate early and could even graduate with an AS degree before they receive their high school diploma. 2.) Could take electives in high school and graduate on-time
The biggest thing for me is, if the student will go on to pursue a bachelor's degree, he/she will have at least a two-year jump on life. Of course the tuition expenses being reduced to 1/12 is substantial too.
