Cortona Academy Reviews
I was very impressed by the size of the facility, and their emphasis on giving the kids fun, engaging, and hands-on projects. Cortona was the first school I had ever heard of that had elementary schoolers learning 3D modeling, and working with 3D printers, laser-cutters, and laser-engravers. If I could go back and do high school again, I would definitely consider going to Cortona.
Last note, I was also very impressed by their teacher to pupil ratio!
