Much of the college tuition costs are paid through a state-supported plan entitled Post Secondary Enrollment Options, which allows college level classes to also count toward student's graduation requirements in high school. The program focuses on computer technology, business and academic core courses. The Cleveland District provides a principal, and the College provides a program manager and together they coordinate programming for school students annually. There are some entry requirements for the program and all students apply through the guidance counselors. In some cases, students can earn an associate's degree at the same time they are earning a high school diploma. Students may apply to High Achievement in the Spring term of their sophomore year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「High Achievement Academy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
