Hear directly from teens and young adults who left conventional schooling behind. They'll share why school didn't work and how they're creating meaningful lives for themselves. When teenagers have the support of caring, knowledgeable mentors and the flexibility to manage their own education, many new paths to success open up to them.
The panel includes current members and alumni of Princeton, Bucks, and Raritan Learning Cooperatives who will tell their stories, with a Q&A to follow.
