EARLY GRADE COMPLETION

01

Students who are able to complete their grade level goals before the end of the year will begin working on the next grade level goals. It is possible that some students will graduate before age 18. The 2022-2023 school year resulted in one kindergarten graduate and three high school graduates ages 14, 16 and 16! Each of our high school graduates have college credits already and are mere classes away from an associates degree. Next year, they will finish up their associates degree program and move seamlessly into their bachelor program.
