All students, grades 9-12, who enroll in CFT will be offered an individualized learning plan with a mix of traditional, teacher-led classes and self-directed learning (SDL) through on-line courses and experiential learning with highly qualified teachers always on-hand
Students in grades 9-10 gain particular benefit from this accelerated program because they can complete all required high school courses in three years and, then, choose from a variety of college courses in their senior year or, if they wish, graduate early.
AFA partners with local colleges, like Minneapolis Community & Technical College, to provide many, exciting opportunities:
- Graduate with college credits and healthcare certification, such as: Nursing Assistant, Practical Nurse, Home Health Aid, Dental Assistant, and Electroneurodiagnostic Technician
- Hundreds of other college courses available with dual diploma and associates degree possible
- A chance for 3-4 years of free college for Minneapolis and St. Paul students through a combination of the CFT program and the “Power of You” at Minneapolis Community & Technical College (MCTC), Metro State University, and St. Paul College
Students who are older and looking for more flexibility in their schedule and, perhaps, to catch up on credits or earn their diploma as quickly as possible, can choose an individualized program that includes opportunities for self-directed study. AFA offers a wide range of on-line courses and opportunities for experiential learning, all guided by a teacher who is licensed in the subject being studied.
