Student Comments
"When I first started the Independent Study program, I was a little apprehensive. I didn't know what to expect. Now I love it. The thing I like best about Independent Study is that I can do it at my own pace." -K
"I personally like how encouraging and genuinely nice the teachers are at Independent Study. When there is an adult to encourage you, it makes a big difference because it makes you want to try to do well...Independent Study is definitely not the easy way out. It is different from regular high school-true-but not easier or harder. Just like everything else, you have to put in effort...before starting Independent Study, I didn't even want to consider going to college. With the help of my Independent Study teacher, I realized it wasn't too late and now I am looking forward to going to college." -D
"Independent Study motivated me to finish my work faster, that way I can graduate earlier...Students have to be motivated and able to work by themselves in Independent Study and not have someone tell them what to do every minute."-G
