[quote=Anonymous]Good piece on the Bard program. It's a liberal arts focused program that's designed to foster critical thinking, not just a bridge to technical schools as some other "early college" programs (the article cites in Houston welding programs to prep for trade school as an example). The Bard model began at Simon Rock, a respected private school in the Berkshires, and has expanded to other urban areas. It'a an interesting concept. They require essays and interview for admission and not grades/attendance. They're looking for students capable of critical thinking, including but not limited to students who've been overlooked/neglected in the school system. https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2016/12/early-college-isnt-a-new-idea/509759/[/quote]
