My daughter dropped AP at the local high school because it was rote learning. At SIL she had intense intellectual discussions, more reading, less busy work and developed mentor relationships with caring, intelligent and demanding teachers, and she did well on the AP test. AT SIL, she loved learning.
The school is solid, my daughter has been able to keep on track with honor s classes even through a tough illness. Good communication with teachers and staff
Some people like this school. However, it doesn't require its teachers to be properly certificated, so their not good at understanding the learning needs of all students.
What a flexible and fun school! I'm impressed with the communication and the atmosphere. My son feels safe and happy. It is so good to have him happy again. He actually likes going to school. He likes his teachers and they present the info in a way he can relate to.
Great school, did what they said they would, unlike so many schools who just pay lip-service. Make kids feel safe and able -- they soar. Kids can move quickly and not be held back by administrative stuff or busy work. This keeps them interested and motivated.
My student found academic success at SIL. His teachers were awesome and he said he learned so much more in a week than he did in a year.
