What people are saying

Tuesday, March 24, 2015

Yes it is true the school is not highly ranked by any means. That said, my son was an example of someone who is really able to take advantage of the self-taught nature of the program. There are teachers on hand to help the students but they have to "bring it" in terms of working through their "old-school" workbooks for each subject. They only get graded on tests rather than get points for homework - which is as it should be. They will be more "high tech" by next year, but in the meantime I am enjoying the fruits of my son's new environment.

My son was getting C's or worse in a traditional environment. Now he is getting straight A's - and it is not because the curriculum is any easier. I have seen the workbooks.

Premier is not for everyone - only for those who are willing to: 1) Work hard, 2) Wear nice clothes each day (polo shirt and slacks) 3) Graduate early (if they work hard enough) and 4) be OK with a VERY small class size with no sport opportunities, etc.

Bottom line - if you have a student who is struggling to the point of wanting to drop out altogther, how much better is this than a GED?? Where do GED's rank?? Close Quote
