Why I chose Shoreline: I chose Shoreline because it not only provides a High School Completion program but also has a 2+2 transfer program, which is a great pathway for me to obtain a bachelor’s degree with a more affordable tuition cost compared to a traditional 4-year undergraduate program. Besides that, as I researched, Shoreline is well known for sending a high percentage of their students to many prestigious universities, including UCLA, NYU, and UW Seattle.

When you start at Shoreline, be sure to follow Shoreline's social media pages so you won't miss out great opportunities to interact with other students during a variety of events, workshops, and school trips throughout the year.
