Challenged Teens Now Have Educational Options

Until now, teen cadets at Arizona Project Challenge have been restricted when it comes to education. Now, they have options.

Arizona Project Challenge has partnered with Sequoia Choice Arizona Distance Learning and as a result, Project Challenge cadets now have the option of earning credits toward their high school diploma.

Before enrolling as a Project Challenge cadet, many of these youth struggled in a traditional classroom environment - so much so that for many of them earning a General Equivalency Diploma (GED) was not even an option. By enrolling in Arizona Project Challenge, they learned the necessary discipline to prepare themselves to take the GED. However, even this lone option left the cadets and their families, even APC administration, wanting more.

Before Sequoia'ss involvement with Arizona project Challenge, cadets's parents were concerned that their children would get further behind in their high school education, missing out on a full semester of credits. Now, the partnership between Arizona Project Challenge and Sequoia Choice allows the cadets to stay on pace with their high school studies, which could allow them to graduate with their class, shared Mike Watkins, Vice Principal at Sequoia Choice.

Now, with the e-learning option that the partnership with Sequoia Choice provides, Project Challenge cadets can take advantage of Sequoia'ss online curriculum and continue earning high school credits toward, perhaps even completing, their high school diploma. Clark Coldiron, Director, Arizona Project Challenge said, With the option of pursuing a high school diploma, opportunities have opened up to these cadets that were not there previously.

The partnership between Arizona Project Challenge and Sequoia Choice is truly remarkable. This partnership now allows cadets to have options. Our state standards based curriculum allows these cadets the opportunity to earn high school credits which can make higher education easier to obtain, Mike Watkins continued.
