REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingMy classes are not very large and the teachers can focus on individual needs. All of the teachers I've had so far have been incredible and very helpful. You learn a lot more than just subject matter here. There are so many different types of students to talk to and learn with. You pretty much learn from everyone you're around.
Amber from Grantville, GA
This school is a great place for independent students. If you are the type of person that can work through your goals alone than this school is perfect. The staff can be a little misleading.
