Sequoyah high school was the best decision I have made for my high school career. It helped me build my readiness for the real world, my talking skills, my writing skills, and other academic worries I had. I made life long friends from this school, and the rest feels like a community that I will always search for. If there was something I would change, I would implement a good food service.

The environment they create there is unlike any other school and we've visited all of them. Our 5 y.o. son can't wait to go every day and is learning like a sponge. More importantly, they really focus on teaching kids how to care for and about each other and to embrace all of our differences. I honestly tear up at almost all the functions I go to, it's just a unique beautiful experience to witness and when I think about it, I feel truly blessed.

Coming from a homeschooling background, I wondered if my daughter could find a space where her curiosity, independence, and love for learning would thrive. Sequoyah has been that space and more. The school’s thoughtful, hands-on approach and inclusive community have empowered her to truly advocate f...
