My son began with Alta Independent the second half of his junior year in high school. The qualify of academic programs have rivaled the best public schools. The flexibility offered for extracurricular activities has been great. More than anything, Alta has taught him to be an independent self starter. He has learned so much and has been accepted to the college of his choice. My wife and I are so pleased with Alta and highly recommend Alta as an alternative to public and private schooling.
