(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I am part of the graduated class of 2010 at Environmental Charter High School and I currently attend Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. Environmental Charter High School provides an intimate learning environment that caters to the needs of an individual student. Not only does the school provide exceptional teachers for classroom learning, but also provides outdoor learning experiences for all of the students in attendances at ECHS. Learn more about the school at :echsonline.org. We have received national recognition for the progress us students have made and were finalists for President Obama's Race to the Top Commencement Challenge, organized by me and 4 of my other fellow classmates. This school has helped me incredibly and please take the chance to learn more about the school.
