I wasn't clear, I meant trade schools affiliated with high schools. Where a half a day is spent learning a trade & the other half is taking subjects in HS.

My granddaughter has been taking an early childhood education course at BOCES along with her other classes.
IMO, that's not the best choice, but it was hers.
BOCES offers many other choices: http://www.pnwboces.org/techcenter/tech/index.htm

No additional costs.

Clo,

There are plenty of 'private' trade schools out there and some of them of are the worst culprits when it comes to students running up huge student loan obligations particularly those being incurred by returning veterans whom these organizations often prey on with special 'programs' which simply suck them in, 'stealing' not only their GI benefits but additional payments as well.
