In the Social Context of Education course this semester, we are learning about programs that assist in bridging the gap between high school and college for at-risk students. This article about Middle College High also acts as a bridge, but for advanced and exceptionally motivated high-schoolers. At this special school, juniors and seniors can graduate with one to two years worth of college credits. A University of Tennessee-Knoxville representative says this puts them at an advantage when competing against typical high school graduates.
I wish this type of school existed in my hometown when I was growing up. Knocking out two years of college credits while still living the carefree life of a teenager? Sweet.
