Rhode Island State law allows registered patients or their caregivers to legally set up an indoor grow with a certain number of marijuana plants for personal medical purposes. Unlike similar schools in California and Colorado, the New England School of Alterative Horticultural Studies operates in the north-eastern USA and offers professional medical marijuana training at a fraction of what the cost would be for a north-eastern USA based student.

“Traditionally, someone who lives in the New England area and wants to take this type of MMJ training would have to travel to California or Colorado at their own expense. This is in addition to the tuition costs which make the total cost for these classes quite steep for folks in the north-east United States,” said the school founder, Luis Hernandez. “Now, everyone here in the north-east has access to professional medical marijuana training right in their own back yard.”

Another unique feature of this school is its strong sense of social responsibility. No less than 20% of all class proceeds are donated directly to causes such as AIDS & Cancer research, cannabis law reform, and other worthwhile patient advocacy programs. As stated by Hernandez himself: “Environmental and social responsibility are core values which we take very seriously around here.” The school also extends special discounts to registered patients who cannot afford the full class tuition.

Yet another distinction for the school is having incorporated state law, fire and electrical safety, ethics, confidentiality and professional conduct to the curriculum in addition to the horticultural aspect of a medical marijuana training class.

About the New England School of Alternative Horticultural Studies:

The New England School of Alternative Horticultural Studies is the first vocational training institution in the New England area offering professional medical marijuana training to qualified patients, caregivers and aspiring medical marijuana professionals with operations in Rhode Island, Maine and Vermont. The school was founded by Luis Hernandez in 2010 to address the lack of professional cannabis education sources in the north-east United States.

This revolutionary keyboarding software that can be accessed from school or at home, offers exciting features for educators and students that include: automatic grading; timed-writing tests; typing games; teen and tween customized lessons; and a sleek keyboarding tutorial.

Keyboarding lessons are no longer rote and boring. Cool categories such as the practice library and news headline section, provide students with interesting articles that are fun to read, type and relate to their age/grade level. Students can also practice typing news articles that are making headlines relevant to their age group, keeping them engaged.

“This is a fantastic program. It really changes the game with the current event typing practices, problem keys and timed writings,” says Sarah Daugherty, Cottonwood Creek Elementary School. “We have been looking for some time for a program that could be done outside of school with students.”

EduTyping works with PC, Mac, Linux and all major Internet browsers and it follows the keyboarding standards of the National Business Education Association (NBEA).
