We are loving Strike School! Mrs. Clark is wonderful about checking in and making sure is at the appropriate academic level, as well as being supportive yet challenging. Alex is progressing well and the workload seems to be just right becomes extremely engaged when learning is play-based (games, competitions, etc.). Mrs. Stratton does a wonderful job of keeping her focused and communicating with my husband and myself.

"My family and I had an unexpected move to a different state over the summer and because of the new state not wanting to fully follow their rules on out-of-state transfers I couldn't get my kindergartener into a brick and mortar setting. I just happened to see this as an ad on my feed and checked it out and the accredited curriculum is the same my son used last school year so I knew it would work for my daughter. The experience so far has been wonderful and my daughter is enjoying learning. I also like the fact they have different tuition price ranges." ~ Parent of a Kindergarten student.
