Cedars Academy Next Generation High School at Highland Reviews
Rating 4.5 out of 5 8 reviews
My Experience with this school is good but not that good , some of the good things about this school is how it's all technology base, instead of textbooks we are provided with an Ipad to use in the school so you don't have to bring a lot in your backpack but you may need to bring some notebooks in some of the classes that you might have, it's also a small school filled about less than 200 students so it's great small school and very easy to get around than a large high school, another thing is that there are some days on Fridays where we have game night and its when kids spend the rest of the after school play games on some consoles that the school have,VR and board games , they also do themes on game night depending if theres a holiday or have some special days. Some of the issues I have with the school is there are not that much after school activities or have sports teams as well, and they lack the knowledge of applying and learning for college in the last minute for seniors.
I enjoyed being in the inaugural class of the high school. It allowed me to spearhead the start of several organizations and establish the school culture. I appreciated the class facilitators h teachers), because they treated the students as mature individuals. For example, class bells are not used. In addition all class assignments are project based. And the structure of the projects includes an agreed upon contract and various roles to gain a comfort level in the follow: The ability to master public speaking, sharing ideas, topic content and research conclusions.
When I first came to this high school I came with no experience on how to speak well in front of others and no real collaboration skills. They had me come out of shell to really show who I am as a young adult. This school is a all projects based school. So every class there’s something always to do and mainly hands on which I enjoy very much. I learned to speak up with my group mates to ask questions, to point out problems, and make the final project well enough to present to the whole class. We do most of our work on IPads which I thought was pretty cool as well. We have most of work in there once we present we share out our google slides. This is the way most of the colleges will present and this school already has us set and ready for future presentations. Don’t get me wrong there can be bumpy rides but there is office hours as well in our school to get the most help we need as well. I love how they really care about us so it’s like a huge family in my school.
