[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the kids I know there is focusing their electives on the health pathway, aiming for pre-med. All students do take engineering in 9th grade so I think that does make it more appealing to the tech/engineering -oriented student. It's not a vo-tech program. Students take a lot of dual-enrollment classes and can graduate with an AA degree so start college well ahead. But that does make it more appealing to kids aiming for VA state Us  [/quote]

OP again. If a child starts school with a lot of college credits but starts college at 18 (as opposed to starting college with a lot of credits after spending 2 years at community college), what does that mean for them? Taking a lighter course load in college and still graduating in 4 years? Or graduating early? I don’t think DD is mature enough to go to grad school or start working “early” so I’m not sure what the advantage is to getting a bunch of college credits, but obviously I’m not in that world yet so I need you to educate me please.[/quote]
