School Reviews
| 5 My son thrived at and graduated from Odyssey. Online after a terrible public high school experience. - Posted by Parent - Jamie |
| 5 I am currently a 10th grader in provost academy of South Carolina and I must say I absolutely love it! I have heard things about provost saying "they try to fail you" and "they don't help you " but it's not true! My teachers are always willing to help me get my work done and when I get behind they push me to get on track and ahead so I can graduate! Best online school I have attended yet!!! - Posted by Student/Alumni - Thoma |
