Chapter 97 The Educational Milestone

• In March, Phoebe was accepted into the high school's honours art programme, a competitive opportunity that would provide advanced training and mentorship while forcing her to manage higher academic obligations with her existing commitments to family responsibilities and creative endeavours.
• "The honours programme includes studio classes with professional artist instructors," Phoebe elucidated with enthusiasm, "plus field trips to museums and galleries, and opportunities to display work in regional exhibitions that could lead to scholarship opportunities."
• "It sounds like an incredible opportunity," Grace said, while she was privately concerned about how advanced coursework would affect Phoebe's role as Emma's primary carer during after-school hours, when both parents were frequently preoccupied with job duties.
