Alternatives To High School?

Q: Are you in Canada. I am in Ontario and we have T.R. Leger...which is an alternative school, kind of more for troubled kinds who don't like the shcool system but are to young to quit, but it might work for her. She would have support there for whatever courses she takes and she would do the tests there but she would not have to attend ( unless she is 16 or under) She could do the work at home drop off the chapters that she does and it may be a good way if she is intelligent to to it ahead and get done school quickly.

A:Advanced placement (college classes), Individual Study (some schools offer this), a GED and some life experiance in employment or vo-tec or volunteer work. I dropped out of high school, did some non-traditional-for-women votec classes, read alot and wrote book reviews, which I kept in case I ever needed to show someone what I'd done for a year other than wash dishes (I read, on average, 200 pages a day). I envied my friends who'd done AP and gotten over the mickeymouse basics at college, but I did okay as it was. I needed to be away from 17 year olds. They were bad influences and boringly childish. My friends were in their twenties, and already in college. I did better around them.
