School Reviews

5  
The quality is extremely good and detailed. All 5 of my daughter's teachers are amazing. They give good feedback with additional ways to study a subject that is a challenge. They are quick to respond and make me feel part of a team. I was nervous as I would never be the traditional homeschool or online school parent. The team of teachers, student counselor, and staff all support you to help each of my children. They have so many opportunities from virtual field trips to in-person field trips. They do NJHS we hope to attend in person and meet these amazing teams helping our family. It is fully accredited so if your child likes sports they will be able to play in college. My daughters are doing ballet, but we will be moving to tennis this year. I am highly recommending the school to any parent. We are going to do the gifted and talented program for all three once they reach the grade requirement. I like the chance to let my children advance at their own pace and move forward and ahead if they are ready. The AP classes they will take once they are able is a huge plus.
