This School’s Reviews

4.0 Senior

8/19/2022

Boulder universal has been an incredible experience for me. It has allowed me to take so many opportunities that I would have been unable to take had I been in person. I wish they would do more to allow the students to get ahead. I am often unable to get ahead when I need to because they only have one week of work released. They also only offer the standard classes. If one need to take a advanced class or a language other than spanish they have to use Florida Virtual instead. Boulder universal also needs to do a better job offering help to students suffering from mental health issues. They often will not move-work around or will just say oh well when a students grades drop.

I am really happy at how well my son is thriving through Boulder Universal. He needed an alternative to the basic high school experience, he needed counselors who would listen to what his goals were and support his learning style, who would support him as a person and a student. Interestingly he has...
