Imagine...

• A school where students can earn an Associate's Degree when they graduate from high school;
• Where coursework is built around authentic, industry-based problems
• With the challenge of a college curriculum
• And the structure of a high school day
• With the opportunity to research, explore and learn from practicing professionals from around the world.

...All wrapped up in a two year program right here in North Central Ohio.

College-NOW is that program. College-NOW is the leader in providing an alternative to traditional high school for capable young people who want to get more out of their final two years of high school.

College-NOW is designed to combine the skills and knowledge required for students to successfully move into either a 4-year university program or directly into the workforce as a qualified engineering technician.

The College-NOW staff has worked with business partners to identify the knowledge and skills required for successful transition, and to embed this skill set into unique learning experiences utilizing and enhancing exploration, problem solving, research, and communication skills. Students work to develop solutions to problem scenarios-sometimes individually, sometimes in small teams, and sometimes as an entire class-connecting and collaborating with resource personnel from all over the world through technology-based real-time communications.

The result?

A school where

• Curiosity is assumed.
• Exploration is encouraged.
• Questions are essential.
• Problem solving is emphasized.
• Participation is intense.
• Knowledge is connected, and
• Learning becomes fun.

Now that's College-NOW
