I looked at the Simon's Rock website recently. They grant Associate's degrees, not Bachelor's. The school is very expensive (around $47K annually for day students and $60K for boarding students). It's a combined high school and junior college and is, IMO, a very pricey way to get an A.A. That's a lot of extra money: you'd end up paying for six years of college instead of four. Ouch!

We're hoping to sign up our eldest for a dual enrollment program called Middle College next year. He will get a free A.A. that way.
