Is Provost Academy right for me?

Provost Academy can be a great option for many types of students.  Families tend to seek us out because they want a challenging, personalized, flexible option to fit their child's specific learning needs.  Ask yourself the following questions:  

• Would you/your student benefit from more flexibility, choice and ownership in his/her education?
• Are you/is your student bored because traditional teaching methods are not the best fit?
• Are you/is your child a gifted student who wants a faster pace or more challenging material?
• Have you previously home schooled, but want more support going into the high school years?
• Do you live in a remote or rural area with limited teacher and course selection?
• Are you a teen parent looking to stay in or return to school, or do you have other time-consuming family obligations that require a flexible schedule?
• Are you/is your student involved in competitive sports, art, music, or other activities that require travel or a flexible schedule?
• Do you want (to give your student) a leg up in the 21st century college and career market by developing technology skills?
• Is it sometimes difficult for you/your student to physically attend school because of an illness, disability, or bullying? 

Did you answer YES to one or more of the above?  These are just a few of the reasons Provost Academy might be a good choice for you!
