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.

More clubs need to be added to the school. It needs to be simpler to get clubs and other things like that approved. There also needs to be better ways for students to connect with one another since we were online.

Blue Ridge Academy has been super great to me and my family. My teacher is super helpful and is always making sure I have all of my work turned in and that I'm doing well in my classes. One thing I'd like to see changed is their policy on religious curriculum. Blue Ridge refuses to buy any religious curriculum and will not accept any work that contains religion or even give me credit for such classes.

After leaving public school, my mom decided to enroll me in Inspire which would later become Blue Ridge Academy. My experience here has been amazing and has gotten me to the point where Im going to graduate this year and find the best way for me to learn. Somewhere I would like to see a change is I would love to see more highschool activities or involvement with the highschoolers.

We have enjoyed this school for many years. Now it is breaking into smaller schools, and we are far less happy about that.
