Switching to EA has given our child a new lease on life. The structure and opportunities to learn in a different capacity have supported our child to viewing himself now as a learner.

“It’s helped me a lot, a better environment and I can get more stuff done, I feel more capable to do things, I used to not want to go to school and now I feel like I can and want to go to school”.

I was a student here last year, it’s honestly terribly managed and has done multiple illegal things since I’ve been there, including not reporting sexual assault in the school, staff members on drugs, and more. Do not send your kids here, they will leave the school unprepared for life and without learning any substantial knowledge. The staff and students are constantly leaving the school mid-year. There is also a huge bias by staff and teachers at the school, which should never happen in any school.

My son attended Explorations Academy for four years and recently graduated. He is a very bright and unusually creative young person who just didn't fit into the institutional school mold. At Explorations, he was able to find his own path and express himself in his own ways -- while being exposed to very bright and creative teachers and a highly relevant academic curriculum. Further, Explorations provided him the opportunity to travel to India, Peru, and Kenya during his high school years, which gave him a window on global citizenship most young people only dream of. He is now in his second year at university and our family is very grateful for the experience he had at Explorations Academy.
