My daughter did online and I was skeptical at 1st but it was way easier than I imagined and way more involved than I anticipated, it was just like she was attending actual school, I got notified if she was late or not participating or missing assignments, they cared and were involved, and very understanding, I loved it and communication was very easy and fast. Highly recommend this school.

I’ve had some terrible experiences with certain teacher that I won’t name. They force the swimming unit on you even if you don’t want to do it because you don’t feel comfortable being in that type of clothes (swimsuit) around your peers. One of my friends who has eczema but can’t get a doctors note...
