The average high school student, whether private, public or home schooled, typically spends 6-8 hours each day juggling 6 different courses over 9 months. At the end of four arduous years, this teenager is one of 3.3 million students with little more than a high school diploma to show for countless hours of work. Imagine this same student taking 3 courses per quarter throughout 4 years of high school and earning 2 degrees; a high school diploma and an Associate of Arts degree! Believe it or not, it’s possible for the average high school student to earn both degrees thanks to a new educational co-op, TandemEDU.
