Naperville teen skipping middle, high school to attend college

NAPERVILLE, Ill. (WLS) —
A teen from Naperville is skipping the eighth grade and high school to attend college this fall.

Kelly Li, 13, will not be attending her final year at Crone Middle School or high school at Neuqua Valley. The teen will instead be a freshman at Mary Baldwin College, an all-women’s school in Staunton, Va.

Her mother, Lili Xi, said the college has a program that allows girls between 13 and 15 to bypass high school to get an undergraduate degree.
