Graduation and beyond

Sudbury students get asked regularly how they'll take their next steps after Sudbury.  Whether they plan to do more schooling or get a job, it's no surprise that they need to prepare.

Graduating

Some Sudbury schools offer a diploma, some don't.  The diploma process is highly individualized, typically requiring the student to persuade a panel that she is ready to take her next step into the world. 

University/College Admissions

So many university/college applicants come from nontraditional backgrounds that it's no longer considered unusual.  Common ways to get in include:

• Starting part-time, say by taking a course at age 16.  Doing well brings permission to move towards full-time study.
• Taking standardized tests.
• Interviewing.  Admissions officers commonly report an enthusiasm for applicants who demonstrate a deep interest and investment in a subject.

Getting a Job

Sudbury students move on to any job you can imagine.  Studies of this are available from Sudbury Press.
