We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I liked the independent study aspect of the program. You were able to take online courses that molded around your schedule and it created an overall very accessible experience for the student. My one on one time with my teacher was extremely valuable to me, and I was able to complete all my goals while also cultivating a friendship with my teacher.

No flexibility. The classes are extremely easy and tests get piled on you super fast. Even the AP classes are extremely easy. I wouldn't recommend North Point for kids who are looking to excel academically.

The staff is wonderful and really cares about the students. There's excellent support for the students and great flexibility in how the students can complete their work. There's a good student to teacher ratio that allows each student to get the attention they need for their studies to be successful...
