Today’s high schools are aimed at preparing kids
for college. Even the courses offered are called ‘College Prep’.
This mindset limits students to thinking that college is the only post-graduation
option. In fact, there are other choices that are important to take
into consideration. The problem is that many youth are not aware
of all their options.
This website is made for you, the high school
student, who is looking to explore the college alternatives. In this
site you will find an overview of programs in America for those who are
not interested in going to college upon graduation. We have also
looked into what kids in other cultures are doing, and what other countries
offer for them. Two cultures that are explored are the Amish and
the German.
Everybody has a unique plan and different
things work well for different people. We strongly recommend that
each student keep in mind that there is no ‘right’ way to go from high
school into the working world.
