Open Quote I graduated from Discovery back in 1994 ,When I started there I was having some very serious issues with staying interested in school long enough to make it there everyday.
Discovery was exactly what I needed. Their Independent study curriculum and friendly helpful staff helped me stay focused and probably saved my education.I met lots of life long friends there and formed many other meaningful relationships on campus. Thank you Alternative Education. Close Quote
