Gravitas: A Global Extension of The Stony Brook School Reviews
I was concerned with my son leaving his homeschool community and learning online. Gravitas has solved both issues! Your child won't be able to sit like a bump on a log. They are graded on their participation, oral presentations ,oral tests, and homework. Topics are discussed. School is NOT a monologue. Also, kids are NOT in classes 8 hours a day. This was important to me. Gravitas really seeks to build community with the students. The administation/teachers respond quickly to questions and concerns. My son has met other children from all over the world and he has still maintained his local friendships. We love this school!
1. It is a high standard curriculum and delivered by well educated and experienced teachers. Good curriculum and educators shape the future of a child and the better future of the world. Gravitas is an excellent innovation on this.
2. From enrollment to college counseling, My son and I have experienced very professional service from Gravitas. It is professional, detailed, flexible and caring. All the staff worked very hard. They wanted to ensure students enjoy and benefit from Gravitas.
3. Gravitas is well designed. It has core curriculum, together with college counseling, passion academics, moral education and spiritual learning. It is complete convenient, efficient and economic.
4. As Gravitas keep growing and improving, it will become a global excellent teachers, students community. They not only support the students to learn and become a better person, but also will play an important role in the world peace.
God bless Gravitas.
