School Reviews
5 6/3/2014
If the student challenges himself to strive for upper level classes (i.e., chem and physics, pre-calc/calc/, Honors English/Social Studies) he can get an education equal to any of the finest schools in the nation. That is the best thing about Stebbins, the education is there for the taking and they can start, ahead, of the pack at WSU or UD. They also have an online program for students who may need to finish in a non-traditional setting, with an equally challenging curriculum, for recovery and initial classes. That is something that most schools in the area don't offer...you have to go to an ECOT or a K-12...
