It was a school where I was accepted. I could be my TRUE, REAL, RAW self. Everyone didn't stick to the "norm" or "basics". Everyone had their own vibe, own style, own stigma and it wasn't judged. I could wear my bright, blue fur jacket and stroll the halls without being embarrassed and instead, very bubbly and confident. To make it better, not only did I not have to worry about being my true self, but I also had no worries when it came to school work. Everything at High Tech High International is very organized, helpful and simple. It teaches exactly what benefits us as students ad gets us prepared for our future. We get the privilege of doing college field trips, internships for a whole month and a week off to explore different activities. It's a school full of adventure, self assurance and strength!
Previously, I attended schools that taught traditionally which is different from the project-based algorithm that the High Tech System is known for. Instead of studying, getting homework, and taking tests, I had to adapt to learning the project-based system. I ended up flourishing underneath this strange teaching and found that learning things by building projects with peers helped me learn the subject more then my middle school did. Because the school is small, I get to work with people I already know as well as work closely with teachers as they have fewer students and classes to worry about. The diversity of my school is also a welcome change as I know people who drive up to an hour just to get to school. The small student count also allows for an interesting school culture as students feel closer to each other then say if there were thousands of us.
High Tech High International is a great place to go to high school. The teachers are incredibly supportive and are always ready to tutor or mentor a student when they are struggling. The mix of students is diverse and exciting because they're always ready for the next class and project. The are consistent in their effort to not only inspire students to attend college, but to finish it.
