See The 18-Year-Old Girl Who Graduates From US University Before Finishing High School

In the United States, 18-year-old Raven Osborne set a new record by receiving her bachelor’s degree in sociology before completing high school.

A straight-A student and top student in her class, Raven Osborne graduated from college two weeks before she was due to graduate from high school.

Raven started her high school career at the 21st Century Charter School in Gary, Indiana, in the United States.

The School is a free public school and one of six charter schools across the nation run by the GEO Foundation with the goal of providing students in disadvantaged areas with access to a top-notch education.

In the seventh grade, I learned that the twenty-first century covered everything from books to transportation to college credits.

And my family and I agreed that was both amazing and difficult to believe. That was an excellent inspiration. Teen Vogue hears from Raven.

Students must complete at least one career certificate or college course as part of the school’s requirements, and transportation, textbooks, and tuition are all covered.

Osborne made the decision to enroll in as many college courses as she could while the costs were covered after becoming concerned about college debt at a young age.

When she was in the ninth grade, she began taking college courses. After two years, she transferred to Purdue University’s Northwest campus, where she completed her studies and recently received her diploma.

When I realized that I would finish my 10th-grade year with an associate’s degree, my mother encouraged me to speak with [Kevin] Teasley, the school’s superintendent, and inquire about a different program that would let me continue accumulating college credits.
