    I've never been so happy in any place. Not only is everyone (students, teachers, staff, everyone!) there extremely supportive, they're inclusive and make sure you're okay and not struggling with anything. I'm in 3 clubs and planning to do a sport, which should be a lot to handle with the work, but I just leave with a smile each day. If you're considering this school definitely go for it! You won't regret it :)

    This charter school gives students an equal opportunity to apply and offers nice financial aid services. It is centered around academics and pushes the students very hard. The school pays for the students to take a full load of college courses from 10-12 grade. If you're determined to get ahead in your career and academics, this school is perfect for you and will save you a lot of money during the process! They provide great opportunities in research and other criteria. The only downside is the limited sport options and an untraditional high school experience, including a small prom, winter formal, etc.
    FAU High School provides an excellent education to its students! It gave me the opportunity to fully dual-enroll at Florida Atlantic University throughout high school, while also offering typical high school clubs and activities. I graduated with nearly 100 college credits! Overall, I would highly recommend this school.
