The teachers here really know how to teach different learning styles. I have taken online classes as well as regular classes. Every class. the teacher is always available by phone, email, or visit to provide extra help to us students. Most of the teachers even give you their personal home and cell numbers and allow you to call WHENEVER you have a question. In addition, the quality of the learning material is on a college level, and the teachers just don't let you slide. They actually grade the work and help you with your mistakes to make you a better student.

Every teacher that is employed at this school is willing to sit down with each student and explain things if they do not understand. They will find research to prove their explanations are correct.
