Whitmore School is the best high school ever! The teachers are attentive and quick to reply. The information is presented in an engaging format. Courses are structured with the real world in mind.
Counselors and teachers and genuinely engaged and always ready to help, chat, or explain something. They will make sure you understand everything completely.
There are extracurriculars like the National Honor Society and the school newspaper. I also appreciated the help and advice given but support coaches and the college advisor.
It is truly “anytime, anyplace.” You can work on mobile, at night, or in a different timezone. Teachers are always punctual to reply.
The only problem is the lack of APs, but the school is flexible in accepting outside credits.

I attended scws for 2 years and I loved it! I could do my schoolwork at any time so no matter how busy my day was, I could do my schoolwork in between it all which allowed for me to not miss out on on multiple opportunities while still getting my education. I also loved the way the teachers and guidance counselors were always there to help you whether it be because you were struggling in a class or needed help making choices for college. I’m glad I attended scws because it allowed be to learn on my own time. It truly is “school your way”
SC Whitmore School student has been so easy to navigate as a parent. Plus, my student has been so pleased with her experience with the school. Her classes have been easy to navigate, help is easy to find when needed, communication is easy and teachers are always helpful. This has been our best decision!
