Value of Open Enrollment
The students are also looked at as a 'whole person'. They are accepted and channeled into programs that interest them, mold them to acquire a rewarding career, without question of prior grade point, for example.
Hi Donald,
This is what is great about the educational system we have in this country, be it public or private. The students can invest in themselves and their future to achieve their career goals. We get to provide them with the content and skill development that will enable them to reach their goals.

To believe that I possess the skill-set to determine which student will be successful in the career of his/her choice would be extremely pretentious on my part or on the part of my peers.
Open enrollment provides individuals an opportunity to achieve long-held dreams often closeted for protection from peers, society, life experiences.
Hi JoDee,
This is a good holistic approach to student learning. It is up to the student to both succeed and fail since each individual is given a fresh start. With effort they will be successful and create a future for themselves. Without effort they will remain at the station in life that they are currently occupying .
