Maybe rethink the price and the length? I think associate degrees or 3-year EU style degrees (which usually come way cheaper than US bachelors’) are still a good idea. Sure, pimping high school curricula, at least for certain schools, could work as well. I don’t have any US high school experience, but in Italy you’re treated as a (silly) kid with a lot of handholding throughout all HS. It’s only with college that you start being treated as a sentient human capable of decisions who makes choices. (And, in Italy, you can graduate from some HS with zero effort, so value is diluted)
