GOA gave her the oppor­tu­ni­ty to take class­es out­side her high school cur­ricu­lum and rein­force the pas­sion for these interests.” Parent of a former GOA student
  • “Class­es in com­put­er sci­ence, eco­nom­ics and invest­ments were not offered at my son’s high school. He took sev­er­al GOA cours­es in each of these areas. He then went on to major in eco­nom­ics and com­put­er sci­ence in college.” Parent of a former GOA student
  • “My child’s world opened up after tak­ing GOA class­es. These cours­es intro­duced her to class­es that dig into socio-polit­i­cal issues as they relate to soci­ety at large and she has been pur­su­ing them fur­ther in college.” Parent of a former GOA student
