Definición

  • The comprehensive high school is a unique U.S. concept, developed in the 20th century to meet the challenges of a changing society by designing programs to correspond to the educational needs of all youth. A confluence of forces influenced the rethinking of U.S. secondary education: industrialization, immigration, progressive educational theory, and the rise of vocational education.
