Spring Academy was an excellent choice for our 17-year-old son. After struggling at a private HS for his first two years (during the pandemic), he was dying a slow death there as his parents, so were we. Getting to school was a struggle, and completing homework was even a bigger struggle. A “regular” high school experience was just not the right fit for him. It was like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. And believe me, we tried to do that. Midway through his junior year, when things continued to go downhill, we decided it was time to start looking for alternative educational routes for him. At the recommendation of a medical professional, we visited Spring Academy. It was a breath of fresh air. Our son didn’t care about all the social activities a regular high school offers. He just wanted to get through high school as soon as he could. He was easily distracted (ADHD-Inattentive) when it came to classes and learning, so the shared 1-1 teaching model that Spring employs worked really well for him and kept him on task. Getting the work done while he was at school (w/no homework) was key. And we were free, too, of trying to manage our son’s homework, which improved everyone’s home life. He was able to continue working at a job he loved and get to the mountains to pursue his passion for skiing more often since there is no school on Fridays. We are extremely grateful to principal, Andy, and former principal, Frank, for their caring and encouragement, and personal investment in our son’s success. Our son liked all of his teachers and is very grateful to have attended Spring. He just graduated last week with a diploma in hand! We are so grateful that we set up that initial meeting – Spring Academy more than met our expectations.
