Grant was in eighth grade when he discovered CVTC’s Business Management program. His mom Shari was skeptical, and wanted to make sure he could make the transition to high school smoothly.

Grant was very interested in business and decided that the Business Management Academy, which offers a two-year associate’s degree while you are still in high school, was right for him. He began the program as a freshman and will finish as a senior. What led him to this mindset is how much time and money he can save and how many doors it will open in his future.

His mom says it has been a great thing for Grant. To see a 16-year-old taking college-level classes and absorbing it is amazing to her. She is proud of him taking this level of challenge and succeeding!

Grant would have taken many of the same classes in high school, but now will have an associate degree to show for it, and the group of students he has taken the classes with are his peers, so he still has the social aspect.

His instructors have been willing to help him learn and are very caring about his future. The courses transfer well to other institutions as he is looking at four-year business degrees where he can transfer in as a third-year student.
