TIME

What is TIME?

TIME (Targeted Intentional Mentoring for Educators) is a cohort of carefully selected students from Forest Lake Academy who will take a series of courses for dual enrollment credit. These students will simultaneously receive credit for both high school and college coursework. This enables them to get a jump start on their college degree while simultaneously positioning themselves for success as educators.

Southern Adventist University is partnering with Forest Lake Academy and the Florida Conference on this initiative, which has many benefits for such students.
