My education at Provincetown has given me the skill and tools to succeed on my SATs and because of my preparation from here, I have been accepted to all of the colleges to which I've applied .
Community Service Projects.
Teacher scouts and teacher mentors.
Along with the academic rigor, I've been taught the importance of making the choices that will will result in my attainment of my personal desires. There were times when I didn't want to work hard. I was allowed a semester to slack off. My couselour worked with me toward the end of this period. He pointed out that in life I can always choose to let life slip by, just like I'd done that semester, and that when I live that way, I will know that I'm getr, ing screwed by life instead of taking it by the horns. I reflected on how it felt And he was right. To get what I want , I need to live as if I am that person... Then I will be that person.

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
