I
decided to come to H.E.A after my first year at Salida High School.
Personally, I was looking for more individualized learning, and, after
learning a little bit more about how the school works, I decided that it
would be a much better fit for me. I’ve always been a little bit
annoyed by the one-size-fits-all learning path of traditional education,
and H.E.A seemed like a great alternative. We switch classes every two
weeks, so I never get bored with a class, which used to be a huge
problem for me at the high school. School is much more enjoyable here,
and I’m still meeting all of the state requirements for education. -

When
I was a sophomore I made the transfer to H.E.A from my old school. From
the first minute I walked in the door I knew that this was the school
for me. I started to look forward to coming to class. I had teachers
that I connected with and fellow peers I got along with. Finally I
started to learn things that I actually felt were important and useful
to my life, and that I would use even after my high school career. Not
only has this school given me valuable education, but I have also become
more responsible because of the independence and motivation H.E.A
requires you to have in order to succeed. - Aaron McCorkindale
