We are looking for a certain type of student to join us for a semester at Finding the Good. Could this be you? We surely hope so. If you still have some doubts after reading through our site, please review your answers to the questions below:

1. ✦    Are you interested in applying your academic skills to real world situations?
   

2. ✦    Do you want to make positive changes within your school and community?
   

3. ✦    Do you long to be outside rather than stuck in a classroom?
   

4. ✦    Does working with your hands sound fun?
   

5. ✦    Have you always wanted to contribute something to the world?
   

6. ✦    Are you prepared for a rigorous and exhilarating educational experience?
   

If “yes” was a common answer for you, then you’re probably a great fit for our program. Finding the Good students are in the 11th, 12th and post high school range and come from public schools, private schools, homeschooling, unschooling, community college, and independent study . You do not have to be a high academic achiever, nor an “environmental” or “outdoorsy” type. Grades are not a factor. You do need certain academic skills, a strong work ethic, a general curiosity about life, the maturity to be a healthy member of our small community, and a great attitude.
