Grand Rapids Community College
I attended classes at Grand Rapids Community College two summers in a row while at Catholic Central. It was fantastic, and I am happy to say that I achieved a 4.0 cumulative GPA there, earning 10.0 credits.
- Multivariable Calculus (Calc III)
- C++ Programming
- Programming in BASIC
I learned much in Multivariable Calculus, but the other two didn't really help me. Most of the material taught in those classes could easily be gleaned from the books that I had been checking out from the library since 7th grade or so.
Still, I would definitely recommend taking some summer classes during high school if you have the opportunity. It's nice to have that little head-start before actually attending college as a full-time student.
Grand Rapids Catholic Central
Catholic Central, the oldest co-educational Catholic high school in America, is where I went to high school—right in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids, MI.
I took the garden variety of classes there, including a few AP classes. I thought it was an excellent high school, and prepared me very well for my future college career. In fact, it may have prepared me too well. Upon coming to college, I found that many of my fellow classmates knew few of the skills that would have been commonly taught at CC.
Catholic Central's website is located at www.grcatholiccentral.com.
In case you want to know, Catholic Central's CEEB code is 231-685.
