Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The courses are what I would call hardcore. I call the course hardcore because each course is hard, but gives you exactly what you need. Under each course in the catalog, shows you if they are transferable or not. They have classes you can take to earn your way into a four year college. The teachers allow you to study, show you how to study, then quiz you to see what was learned.
