It's an excellent school that I wish we had found sooner.Read 101 Reviews

The community at laurel springs is welcoming, and you will find that the students are very kind.

Laurel Springs arranges field trips, virtual field trips, activities, and the weekend of celebrations (including prom and graduation) to introduce you to the other students, as well as having their own social media platform, and live classes to meet other students.

Overall, California Connections Academy was a great experience for my last years of high school.Read 122 Reviews
Middle School Student: My experience at iUniversity Prep was absolutely AMAZING!!! I am in 8th grader at iUniversity Prep and this is my first year doing online school. This is such an amazing school! The teachers are so nice and sweet. They are very encouraging and want to help. The classes really help with college readiness. You can always contact then whenever and they will help you. They have open office hours where you can go on webcam and talk with them if you need any help. And it's not like you are just reading stuff and no socialization. There are Live Lessons where you go on webcam and you can see the teachers and students. The classes are very flexible so if you have extracurriculars like sports, dance, or acting, you can do class whenever and wherever. I would definitely recommend this school.Read 20 Reviews

Sophomore: I absolutely loved Broward Virtual School. As of this year, I can proudly say that I have attended this school for three years. This school provides service for various grades and allows one-on-one communication with teachers and students. Additionally, there are DBA's to help assure that every student understands the material and many live lessons available for additional support. Moreover, pace charts are given for each student and collaborations put into practice for each segment in school, which allows the students to get to know and work with one another. Flexibility is a huge aspect of this school and students are able to create their own schedule to meet their needs. At the physical school location in Coconut Creek, clubs and meetings are provided for the students to attend on a regular basis if wanted.

Freshman: The Classical Academy- College Pathways is an incredible opportunity for students to be able to get into a community college for free starting from freshman year of high school *depends. The teachers really like working with the students and give mercy when needed. The school provides many classes that are wonderful and partners with the Community College as well as another High School for certain classes. Classes for JH students are usually only 2 days a week, but the homework really makes up for the time at home. There is also no PE or Music that you can take until High School, but in HS, you can take PE credits at PPCC or at the HS, and Music is only offered at PPCC. There are a few teachers that are a real pain, but as long as you don't really aggravate them, you shouldn't have a problem. Social life is also really good and manageable. Really good school, would recommend 100%Read 128 Reviews
Senior: This is my second year attending Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School and I could not be happier with the amount of support my teachers and counselors have provided me with. Not only has PALCS provided me with an inspiring environment to study and to learn, but it also has taught me the importance of leadership in group settings throughout everyday life. In the future, I hope PALCS continues to offer the same learning experiences and aid to students entering high school, struggling through course material, or applying to colleges. Thanks to PALCS, I am on the road to success with an advanced education that will enable me to perform to the best of my ability at a university!Read 181 Reviews

Alum: While attending Hawaii Technology Academy, I've noticed there is an expectation to be independent which can be intimidating. But, a strength in this school is the care each staff member has for each student. Though the expectation of being independent is there, you are not entirely alone. Teachers and staff are welcome to any questions, or concerns and are open to talking with you about it. I've, personally, been very adamant that I must do everything on my own, but knowing I can reach out to my teachers for feedback or questions really made that intimidating aspect of working independently less scary. It also helps and trains you on working on your own and how to organize your days which is a useful trait. When communicating with my teachers- both, via in person or email- they helped clear up any confusions I had and were willing to talk with me further on the subject if I still had difficulty understanding. This school has a welcoming heart to it.Read 31 Reviews
Niche User: The school is awesome! I have five grandchildren going there. They are all happy, the teachers are the best, even the school board and administration take a personal interest in each child. Many people live here because of our schools.Read 3 Reviews
Alum: It is hard work, don't foul yourself, but quality over quantity anyday leads to greater success. Don't go here if you want to slack off or not make the most out of each moment. You have to be a self-learner to a certain degree and you have to be willing to reach out for help with the amazing teachers. Life smarts and academic smarts are what I got here and that is what is going to propel me to be a better individual in the long run. If you are not serious about your education and believe having a carefree and unbalanced social life then go to a traditional school, don't bother going here. Now if you are serious and want quality then consider this school. It will hold you accountable to going above and beyond and in the long run that is what will sustain you to be a better person.Read 26 Reviews
