Yasmeen Chism came to Forsyth Middle College looking for a different high school environment. Ambitious and eager, she used the Middle College style of independent study to work at an accelerated pace. She finished her high school courses mid-way through her senior year and took Forsyth Tech college courses during her second semester. All in all, she graduated with 35 college credits. Here’s what Yasmeen has to say about Middle College:
“The teaching style is based on the students and their motivation. The teachers hand out a syllabus and tell you that you have to be done by the end of the quarter, and you can go as fast or as slow as you need to go as long as you’re finished by the end of the quarter. It was the independence that really attracted me.”
“You are able to bond and connect with your teachers, they’re just not standing up in front of you lecturing for an hour and a half.”
“I think Middle College has really allowed me to push myself as far as I want to go. It’s really helped me when it comes to making choices about what I want to do in college. Having Forsyth Tech there has really helped me to go down different avenues and see what I like, and I’ve enjoyed that a lot.”
