It is not every day that an 11-year old graduates from junior college — and with high honors to boot.

But that is exactly what happened last week when 11-year old Moshe Kai Cavalin graduated summa cum laude from East Los Angeles College with an associate’s degree in liberal arts.

This accomplishment earned him the distinction of being the second youngest person ever in the U.S. to graduate from college.

Moshe has studied diligently at East LA College since he was 8 years old. He pulled off a 4.0 grade-point average while taking required courses — including statistics, algebra and foreign language. But he also found time to tutor his fellow classmates, win trophies in martial arts and prepare for piano recitals.

His parents discovered early on that traditional schooling would not work for their son; so they were fortunate when, after homeschooling him, they found a junior college that would accept such a young student.

Their non-traditional efforts to insure that Moshe would receive the education he needed have now paid off; and now he has moved on to other endeavors while contemplating where or how he will pursue further studies.

Like Moshe Kai Cavalin, there are students who do not fit the traditional mold. They need a college education that fits snugly into the shape of their needs and lifestyle. Fortunately, online education has done that for millions of students.

Online degree programs offer more than just the one-size-fits-all model and range from certificates to doctoral degrees. They vary widely in career focus and subject area. But their common ground revolves around the signature flexibility that allows students to maintain full-time jobs, spend quality time with their families and travel for work or pleasure while fulfilling online degree requirements.

So even though it may not work out to graduate from college at age 11, online schools make it possible to earn a college degree whenever the student decides the time is right.
