This student has had an education full of experiences, mentors, and diversity that larger public schools in more suburban and urban areas cannot offer. He was able to learn about literature, art, music and science by working with community members who are specialist in the fields. He's participated in a band, attended and shown work at art galleries, and done field research that univiersity students would pay huge tuition to experience with the Center for Coastal Studies. His school has become a center for diverse learners with accessibililty to post-grad students, international students, urban youth looking for a sage environment, and other non-traditional learners who have been attracted to the school because of the accepting community and options for a residence at the school
