More About SunEd High School

The Broward Charter High School Built Around Your Unique Needs Traditional high schools are about round pegs fitting into round holes. Everyone's day starts and ends at the same time. Everyone takes the same core classes. Everyone moves from room to room when the bell rings. But what if you're not a round peg? What if your life has edges that set you apart? At SunEd, our belief is that education should fit you - not the other way around. We understand that not everyone has the luxury of starting their day at the same time. Or even starting the school year the same month. Our students desperately want to learn so that they can lead productive adult lives and get ahead in the world. But school may not be their only priority. Many have jobs. Some need to help their families. A number are pregnant or have children. Or they have special needs that require unique approaches, including accelerated learning and language assistance. Traditional high school models tend to leave behind anyone who does not fit into their “box.” But at SunEd, there is no box. You choose when you day begins. You choose when your year starts. We help you design a curriculum around your individual interests and abilities. In the past, students who couldn't make it as “traditional” high schools may have been forced to live as dropouts, struggling to find jobs without a high school education. At best, they might have gotten GEDs. Unfortunately, statistics back this up: only 15% of all GED recipients who go to college earn a degree, compared to 65% of those who enter college with a high school diploma. Want more numbers supporting the importance of a diploma? High school dropouts typically earn $18,900 annually High school graduates earn $26,105 annually College graduates earn $45,500 or more annually That's why SunEd High presents our graduates with a real high school diploma upon graduation. It's also why we provide on-on-one mentoring, college planning, career counseling and vocational learning where students can learn job interview skills and build their resume. Students who enroll here will find an approach that mixes the knowledge necessary to survive and thrive in the real world with encouragement and guidance on how to push past perceived limitations. SunEd is a SACS Accredited Charter High School
