Shenandoah High School

Posted March 13, 2009

This school has terrific advisor support. Is this a school for everyone? No! This is a school for students that want to grow up and be ready for the real world and college. Math and science are offered online, as classes, or if a student really wants to get a jump on college, they can take ANY course at the community college, and graduate from high school with college AND high school credits. This school takes time for students to unlearn their current learning style, and learn a style that will take them through their entire life. It requires more time and support from parents and advisors, because students aren t sitting in a desk getting told what to do. Instead, they're learning through real life experiences, which sometimes seems like they re not learning at all. However, nothing could be further from the truth. This education is what you make of it.

Students here have poor teacher support in core learning areas. Math and science (if taught at all) are offered via distance learning. Some students have success integrating various subjects to form a valuable knowledge base through their exhibitions (project presentations). But sadly, many others seem to procrastinate and end up wasting everyone's time with shallow, hurriedly-done projects. Unless you are very self-motivated, this will be a disaster for you.

My son is a freshman at Shenandoah and for the first time since elementary school has enjoyed school. I never thought I would hear the words 'I love school come' from his mouth I can only hope it remains the same for the next four years.

I cannot express the gratitude I have for Shenandoah. I know I would have been a high school drop-out had it not been for this unique and positive program. My advisor encouraged me to chase after my passions and the independent project-based learning allowed me to grow and learn life lessons on my own. It s been amazing! I know what I want to do with my future and have made solid plans for college. I highly recommend this school for any student who is tired of sitting in a classroom and not taking action. Who want to learn what it s like to learn and work in real life. Who want to prepare for college and not take PE! (of course you ll have to make your own exercise plan, but at least you won t have to swim in front of everyone else). Thanks for reading my review. I hope it helped!
