North Alabama system letting students customize classes

by Associated Press

A north Alabama school system is allowing high school students to customize their education in a way that seemed impossible a decade ago. The district, Hartselle City Schools, will expand those opportunities next year when it adds a law component to its system of academies, school officials said. The academies are subject-specific disciplines that offer elective classes students can take to start their freshman year. The academies give students who may not plan to attend college an opportunity to earn certification in certain vocations. For those seeking higher education, it’s an opportunity to earn college credit while gaining hands-on experience.
