"Let's face it--summer school isn't something kids usually want to do. However, sometimes it is a necessity and that was the case for my daughter (11th grade). Method Schools were recommended to us as a great online option by my daughter's traditional school guidance counselor. We signed up for an online course and we're so glad we did. My daughter has found the flexibility of an online class much more to her liking than going to campus every day. But the real selling point of Method is the support you receive. The teacher, the guidance counselor, and even the administrative staff we have interacted with have been helpful, friendly, and have shown genuine concern for our unique situation. We have some special circumstances involved and Method has been great working with us to accommodate my daughter's needs. I highly recommend Method for a great summer school option. I would also give Method strong consideration as a full time school option (which may be necessary for us in the near future). I'm so glad to know Method is available to meet our needs. Thank you Method!"
