School Reviews
4 10/9/2020
It's been a great opportunity for my children to learn responsibility in planning and challenging themselves in a fast-paced school environment. There's no time to take it slow. They've been involved since the start to be career-thinking and making commitments to their further fields of study. It's up to them to make it happen. No distractions. Focused college courses. Will get AAs when done. One downfall has been no foreign language courses to fulfill the 2-yr requirement for university. Make sure they take online courses to supplement or make sure they can get a waiver for university admissions. BYU independent Online offers great high school foreign language courses!
