The
Teenagers’ Guide to School Outside the Box
Rebecca Greene
For some teens, the traditional four-year high school
curriculum is just what they need. Others would benefit more
from nontraditional learning experiences—if they knew how to
find them and what to do next. This practical, inspiring
book explores the world of alternative learning, giving
teens the knowledge and tools they need to make good
choices. It’s not a directory of programs; there are many of
those available already. Instead, Rebecca Greene introduces
and describes a world of possibilities, from study abroad to
internships, apprenticeships, networking, job shadowing,
service learning, university coursework, and independent
study. Then she tells teens where to look for opportunities,
how to decide which ones are right for them, how to overcome
potential barriers (cost, distance, time),
how to prepare, and what kinds of benefits they can expect
to take away from their experiences. Comprehensive and
realistic, complete with first-person stories from high
school students who have gone “outside the box,” this guide
is for any teen who wonders “What’s out there for me?” Also
recommended for school guidance and career centers.
