Georgia Cyber Academy is an online public school that serves kindergarten through twelfth grade. Through my experience I can confidently say that Georgia Cyber Academy taught me how to be independent and responsible. You have the support of teachers and counselors, of course, but if you want to be successful in online school you have to gain time management skills. Skills I did not have the opportunity to gain in a brick-and-mortar environment. These skills will be useful in college, an environment where student's are already given a large amount of independence. I will utilize that independence responsibly because of my experience at Georgia Cyber Academy. Go Owls!

This is my first year to enroll my two kids (2nd, 5th) grader because of COVID. This school has a whole lot of resources that my kids did not have in private school (all free). At the beginning it was a bit overwhelming, but as time goes by it gets real easy. Specially adjusting to their software (Canvas). Teachers are very helpful. All classes are recorded so if your child did not understand the class lecture you can always review it with them. I have done that several times specially with 5th grade math. All teachers have tutoring sessions you can attend. But one thing I would say, as a parent you have to be hands on with your child most of all with homework . You don't ever want you child play catch up. Check your children's homework every night. YES every night! Overall GCA is an excellent school. Kids might be back for one more year.

Georgia Cyber Academy is a great home-school! They are really good at helping you get adjusted to homeschooling. The learning resources that are used are very engaging and it seems that teachers try really hard to make the learning experience as fun as possible. The school organizes many field trips and school wide gatherings that give students a chance to meet their teachers and interact with other students. These field trips are at really cool places in Georgia such as the Botanical Gardens and museums around the state. Only problem that I've had this past year with it is that sometimes teachers do not respond to emails right away. Also I hope they find ways to let students/parents make their school day schedule more flexible. For me, and many other people, home-school is a good option for someone who needs flexibility in their schedule. But as of right now the schedule is pretty set. Other than these two things, its a great school!
