Richland Collegiate High School provided me with an outlet to get a head start on my career life as a cardiologist. Before coming to this school and discovering this program, imagining the amount of years it would take to become a doctor was overwhelming. Finding out about to program allowed me to acquire two free years of college! I was able to meet some amazing friends and participate in activities for the betterment of my school. I built many new and transferable skills. Additionally, with my year-long capstone research project, I got to find a problem I was interested in and create a end product to help improve those suffering from the problem.

This facility is a tight knit and staff treats each other and students with care and respect. This school also has an accredited music program! The student life does a great job on at campus events. Also, this is a multicultural school and outside in the schoolyard there are these poles that signify all the new different languages that students who have attended the college have spoken. This is a very supportive environment for all walks of life.
The cafeteria has microwaves, vending machine, and on campus vendors such as Subway and Starbucks.
I was told many times before attending this school that it would be difficult. Indeed it was. However, it was a challenge I choose to take to better myself. I not only stepped out of my comfort zone, but I learned more valuable skills here than I did at my previous highschool. It's a chance to get a head start on college and better prepare yourself for life after highschool. My ways of studying, procrastinating, writing, thinking, and doing have all changed for the good while attending this school. I would definitely recommend this rigorous program to anybody looking to get ahead!
