She has a strong interest in science and wants to pursue science studies beyond what is currently available to her in her high school. She has participated in summer science camps the past couple years. She, and her parents, are open to the idea of her transfering to a WA state high school. Can you recommend programs which might be available to her in Alaska, online, or in Washington state? Do you know of appropriate exchange programs for which she might qualify? Any advice? Thanks for your time. Jon Smith -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://www.bio.net/bionet/mm/womenbio/attachments/20071024/7a7b1c38/attachment.html
