26 Sep Don’t Be Afraid to Switch to SET High
Are you finding your current high school scary? Stressful? Hiding in a massive unbearable institution? We offer you hope from a brave student who switched to our small tuition-free school for grades 9-12. At the School for Entrepreneurship and Technology (SET High) Tiffany found safety, community, and a new love for learning.
Cultivating Courage
We are so proud of Tiffany Meredith, now in 12th grade, for recognizing she needed to take care of personal and educational well-being.
“I was at a different high school where the environment was very hostile. The staff and students were unkind and I felt very unsafe. Transferring midyear was a very scary idea. When I first toured SET High, I was terrified. The idea of walking through the corridor, not knowing anybody was incredibly scary, but almost instantly I was able to make friends and was accepted with open arms.”
School Doesn’t Have to Be Stressful
Tiffany fits at SET High. She responds well to our low teacher-to-student ratio, flexible schedules, and intensely personal approach to education.
“SET High appealed to me due to the size of classes. Having a smaller class size means that I can spend more one-on-one time with my teachers and staff versus my old school where there were 500 kids in a single grade level. The transition from my old school to SET High was incredibly smooth. The teachers were very understanding of where I was coming from, and they went above and beyond to make me feel safe and comfortable.”
Thriving After Transitioning to SET High
SET High students meet challenges head-on, practice leadership skills, and develop grit and growth. Tiffany embraces this in full force while appreciating our teachers’ devotion to our academic rigor.
“The teachers (at SET High) are amazing and they truly care about their students and they do whatever they can to help. I joined the last month and a half of my sophomore year and the staff still made time to teach me everything I missed.
“I really enjoy the History and English classes taught by Mr. Snow and Mr. Apalategui. They always make the classroom a fun and interactive environment. After graduation I see myself becoming a teacher because of these two.”
Connecting in Community Culture
SET High attracts students who welcome the challenge of self-discovery while collectively learning with students who are also developing their talents and skills. Are you still questioning if you should switch to SET High? Tiffany offers this advice:
“You have nothing to be scared about! The students are always welcoming of new people and the whole vibe of the school really does make you feel at home. SET High is an amazing place full of opportunity and growth, so if you are able to join the school, I fully recommend doing so!”
Thank you, Tiffany! You’re a shining star at SET High and we look forward to watching your ascent in the “real world” after you graduate. We are so proud to be a part of your success story.
If you’re looking for a school that is developing the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and change-makers, you too may agree with Tiffany. Ready? Go to SET High! We welcome you!
