What Students Are Saying

When I first found out I was pregnant I thought my life was over and I for sure didn’t think I’d graduate. But with this kind of school, I was not only able to graduate and go on to college, but I was able to learn parenting skills to help me be the best first time mom I could be.

It’s allowed me to have my daughter be watched while I participate in class. It’s also allowed me time to get some work hours in. I like how it gives so many advantages like the incentive store and transportation. The staffs/teachers are truly really nice people to get along with, it makes my teenage parenting life that much easier.

Estella | Current Student
The best thing about my high school experience was being ‘paid’ for attendance and using it for items at the school store. It was a great system to help us with feeling independent and providing for our children.
