Future Teachers: Are there any high schools that have programs aimed at students who know they?

Well, my school has Teaching Academy, which requires you to take special classes from sophomore year of high school until senior year, and when you go to college, the district pays for your college education, and in return for that, they are reqired to teach in the district for at least 2 years.\nThat's the closest thing I can think of.

yep start with your state department of education or a counselor at your local school.

There are lots out there.  Check at Rainbow Resource or Timberdoodles (see sources).  Is there something more specific you're looking for (subject, grade)?  My kids aren't quite to HS yet, but I've been looking.\n\nThere's also places like Bob Jones Univ. Press and A Beka Book, with full curriculum programs for HS (all levels, but you asked about HS)\n\nI've also seen 'correspondence' programs, but don't remember any of them right now.

No, because standardized testing doesn't tell you squat about what a student really knows. Graduating should depend upon completion of a certain number of credit hours, with standards for the types of classes you need...not whether you can pass some state tests or not; that's not how the real world works. You need to have an understanding of a field far beyond the simplistic ideal of a state test in order to hold down any sort of professional job, so that should be the standard in high school as well.

There is a test....I think called ASCAP....which was incredibly helpful for me.  Most highschool guidance departments will have interest and ability assesment tests available, as well as provide counseling.  The military also has an interest/ability test available at recruitment offices.

you need to check with the school district you are interested in teaching in and they will give you everything you need to know. also they probably have a website and it will tell you anything you want to know. good luck

There probably is.  These sites will get you started and contacts you find there may lead you to the school you need.

In what State there are many high schools with that name.

I think this is a very good idea.  You need to start with the administration of the High School and the targeted elementary schools, if you want to get anywhere.  You also might be able to bring something like this into a local Boys & Girls Club.

A lot of state schools offer programs like this.  Try running a search on '(your state) State University' and 'University of (your state)'.

Lots of colleges and universities offer teacher certification programs. Just about all of them do. Call up the local universities, ask for admissions, and they will let you know if they do or not.\n\nIf you plan to be a teacher, start paying more attention in your English classes to spelling, grammar, punctuation and capitalization.

It really depends on the school.  The widely-known Federal Student Aid programs like Pell grants and Stafford loans aren't intended for high school students (you have to have a high school diploma or GED in order to qualify).  However, some certificate programs may qualify, so it's worth asking if the school is "Title IV eligible" (if they don't know what you mean by that, the answer is likely "no").\n\nThere is limited scholarship funding out there for high school students.  Try this site for some guidance: http://www.finaid.org/otheraid/privateschool.phtml  \n\nNow, if it turns out that you are eligible to obtain financial aid as if your program is of the "higher education" ilk, there are plenty of private sources out there.  There are a variety of places you can seach for funding: libraries, your former high school, your future college, clubs/associations near you, and the internet:\n\nhttp://www.finaid.org/scholarships/other.phtml\nhttp://www.fastweb.com\nhttp://www.srnexpress.com\nhttp://www.scholarships.com\nhttp://www.scholarships101.com\nhttp://apps.collegeboard.com/cbsearch_ss/welcome.jsp\nhttp://services.princetonreview.com/default.asp?RUN=%2Fcollege%2Ffinance%2Fscholar%2FscholInterview%2Easp&RCN=auth&RDN=7&ALD=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eprincetonreview%2Ecom\nhttp://www.collegeanswer.com/paying/content/pay_free_money.jsp\n\nPursue funding from as many legitimate sources as you can.  Don't be discouraged if you are turned down for a few (or more than a few).  All scholarships, including the small ones, are competitive. You do need to be wary of scholarship scams, not the least of which is the claim that that there are "tons of unclaimed scholarships" just floating around out there. For information on this myth (and other scams), try reading these pages: \n\nhttp://www.finaid.org/scholarships/unclaimedaid.phtml\nhttp://www.finaid.org/scholarships/protecting.phtml\nhttp://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/alerts/ouchalrt.htm

you could go to a tutoring center or contact a local college to see if there are any programs.

Unless you have a country club near you (which is your best bet) you should probably contact a local high school for and ask for information.

Actually, there is a JROTC program for high school, it is like a preparatory course for college ROTC. The daughter of a friend of ours is enrolled in Illinois.\n\nThere is a public military high school in Chicago (Chicago Military Academy high school) which offers JROTC as well as a cadet lifestyle. There is also the Rickover Naval Military High School.

Kind of hard to answer without knowing what area you're in.  \n\nThe thing to know, though, is that whatever high school you go to, success is defined by what YOU do, not what the school does.  If you push yourself and show a willingness to learn, your teachers will pick up on that and help you.  If you take classes that'll push you, you'll suceed more.\n\nAnybody can cruise through high school taking the "easy" classes.  But what you need to do is find the classes that force you to grow.  \n\nGood luck.

Yes there are schools that offer a high school diploma through online courses. Make sure that they are regionally accredited. National accredidation is often not accepted by colleges if you're looking to go that far.
