School Reviews

This school is an amazing way for parents to get their feet wet in home education. The teachers assigned are amazing cheerleaders and great at providing resources and help whenever you need it. You are given the freedom to select the curriculum that works best for your family (even electives such as art, language, sports, music, etc.), but there is accountability to make progress and ensure your students are following learning goals for their grade in each course. Parents, you can't be lazy about homeschooling with IHLA. They have saved my students during COVID by offering a better learning model that actually works!
