From the beginning we have experienced major tech issues. My son turns in his assignments to have them disappear, I have video proof of that. He is still currently enrolled because I already paid for the year, and it is still continuing. I am always able to get ahold of his advisor which is great, but nothing gets fixed, and no follow up. I’ve given up. When I receive a late notice on his assignments I just have my son reach out to his teachers, who are all wonderful and he has been able to get his work in. Another issue is some assignments are just not there so he doesn’t see them until I get a late notice and then he knows he needs to do that assignment. It has been very frustrating for the both of us. This school is very expensive and I expected much more. Since they never reached out to me after I brought up this issue and it still continues, we will not be using them again. We have the online class version, maybe things are different for the pre-recorded ones I don’t know. I at least expected someone to be communicating with me while they work on fixing it, but nope. Very frustrating.

While the online platform itself is easy to navigate without latency or crashes, your content is very 1980 OSHA Safety video-esque. The instruction is not engaging, it bores me to tears as an adult - I can’t imagine how kids do ya on this content more than 10 min max. You charge a fair amount of money for the program, perhaps look into gamification or other ways to make this an interactive learning experience besides quizzes. There is a lack of video and story telling, it’s basically teacher narration and it’s mediocre.

I love the help I receive in picking curriculum for my son, and I am thankful for that. We are signed up for the full package, but have had a terrible time over the last year being able to connect with our advisor when we have a question. Also, having online access to our grades is not helpful because they are only completely updated once per year. That defeats the purpose for me. I will not be coming back next year, unless I just use Bridgeway to pick curriculum and don’t use the advisors for help during the semester. Everyone is always friendly and I want to give a good review, but I am just being honest.
