Perfect fit for us. Does your child want to pursue a sport or have trouble in the traditional classroom settling? Do you want more flexibility, access to teachers, and resources? TCAH has provided this for us. The flexibility and the ability to access assignments and lessons day or night has been revolutionary. We couldn''t be more pleased. I highly recommend it. It does require getting use to their system and structure, but the reward is far greater than any inconvenience.
