Nobody is going to confuse Bethel High School with the University of Cambridge. One is an 800-year-old English institution of higher education, and the other is a 70-plus-year-old high school in Spanaway, Washington. But the two schools do share some similarities on the inside. Bethel’s Cambridge program offers local students a unique educational experience that prepares them for college-level coursework. On this week's show, we sit down with three Cambridge students and learn all about it. Listen at bethelsd.org/podcast or search “Bethel School District” wherever you listen to podcasts.
