My kids know who their principal is. They know lots of other teachers as well from field trips and clubs.

I have two very different children in this school. One is a full grade ahead and another grade ahead in math. We are encouraged to go as far as we feel comfortable. The other needs extra time to fully understand some parts of the lessons. We have always had extra support when we need it.

There are classes, videos, and songs about it from day one. They learn about respect both in person and in the virtual world.

All coursework is done online with only 1 or 2 live lessons required each week. You can do the other coursework anytime you want during the week. This is perfect for students with disabilities with different or changing schedules.

This school is great! The teachers really care about the students and work hard to help the students. It gives us the freedom we need so my daughter can achieve her goals. She is not a morning person at all and if she went to our local brick and mortar school she would have to get up pretty early just to be able to catch the bus at 7 am. Then an almost hour long ride to the school. This school gives her the freedom to be able to work on her schoolwork at a time that works for her.

This school is a perfect fit for our family! We don't have a standard Monday - Friday dynamic. With one parent working as a first responder, we were getting very limited family time with both parents working and our children in a brick and mortar school. We now have one parent at home and both children in online school. We are able to spend much more time as a family and even took several camping trips this summer where the kids were able to do school on the actual beach next to the ocean. It was amazing! While this route does take extra attention and time from the parent, as your child gets older this hands on becomes less and less. And the education my child gets it totally worth any effort on my part. This program can be adjusted to your child's personal way of learning and has helped my oldest succeed so well that he is part of the advanced gifted and talented classes now.
