[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about a school like Warren Wilson College in NC or Paul Smith’s College in NY? Great places for creative outdoorsy kids looking for a more hands-on educational experience.[/quote]
These are really on-point.
Or, OP, if your son is thinking about the trades, https://williamson.edu/[/quote]

Not unless the child is very low income. And yes, I had a middle income friend ask if she could  pay full price for her kid and was turned down. In any case, it offers a highly disciplined experience, and I am not sure that is what the kid wants.

We don't really know from ops description if her child's creativity is anything besides verbal, but the American College of Building Arts would work for someone artistically creative into something adjacent to the trades. It's like an art school, except people want to hire you at the end.

So neat! Thanks for sharing that. Really cool that that place exists, and I appreciate now knowing about it.[/quote]

It is great, isn't it? They are, I think, slowly getting traction.

I don't have my giant file of weird colleges available, but two other trade school/college hybrids worth looking at (though maybe not for op) : Harmel Academy of the Trades, which is modeled on Williamson but is very new, Catholic, and will take rich kids, and the Apprentice School in Norfolk, which pays their students to work as shipbuilders while they attend.[/quote]
