Did you feel well-prepared for your current school by your education at CLASS Academy?

CA taught me how to learn. The focus on my learning as an individual was very helpful in my development. The coursework and homework prepared me for high school and college. The focus on public speaking has helped and will continue to help me as I pursue a career.

I moved to a new school for 7th grade, after attending CA since preschool. Meeting new people was the biggest adjustment.

In HS, I was a member of the band for all four years. I was also in Cross Country all four years. In college, I am focusing on coursework but still run for fun.

I hope to get a masters in electrical engineering. My ideal career after my masters program would be related to system design.
