Hello,

Please check out Ka-Lo Academy (www.kaloacademy.com) for a unique, self-paced and learner-driven educational experience.  Both of my daughters graduated high school through their program.  Both left traditional school (one as a senior and one as a sophomore) and attended community college where they felt that people were there because they wanted to be there.  They were treated like adults and choose their classes.  Ka-Lo Academy served as the "high school" so they could have concurrent enrollment.  They also served as counselors to help them decide their path, offered writing courses and opportunities to socialize with peers that were following their own unique paths.  The social aspect was what worried me most about leaving traditional school but it wasn't an issue at all. My 17-year-old just graduated and already has four full college semesters under her belt.  It's been amazing for my children, their growth, and individuality, I can't recommend it enough.

Hi Alice - I recommend talking to the folks at Ka-Lo Academy. Their specialty is working with teens who learn best outside of traditional high school, and that includes helping youth find jobs that are a good fit for them.  kaloacademy.com  Best of luck!
