My Nonprofit Reviews

Cassie has been hospitalized on and off most of her short life. When it was time to start school I enrolled her at our local school and watched her go off to her first day of kindergarten like all moms do. By the end of the year she had missed half the school days due to being in the hospital for medical reasons. She had excuses and I always got her work and worked with her. She is very bright and even ahead for her age but this was not going to make a difference to the school. I was told it would be best if I just pulled her out of school and home schooled her so she would not get behind. I floored. She was reading third grade books, knew her multiplication tables, was cursive writing, and they wanted me to pull her out because she may get behind when all they were teaching all year were some simple sight words and counting. You bet I pulled her out. They were not worried about teaching my Cassie I can tell you that! I started looking for a tutor, a school, anything that would challenge her and work with her. I found Husky Prep Academy and they have been our saving Grace. My daughter is now 8 years old but still has to go to the hospital often. She is on a varied grade plan for learning which we both love. She has her regular elementary PE and Art and then she has all middle school level classes for her core classes. In science and math she is in 8th grade physical science and algebra. She is loving algebra. The fact that she is not being held back and can learn as fast as she wants to is great. If she is at the hospital, she can get into her classroom via computer. She has studied French and is now learning German this year. She says she is not sure what language she likes best to do for her high school credits when the time comes. Husky Prep Academy is a very special place. They do not charge us to attend. They volunteer their time because they care. They help every child learn at their pace not on a given calendar pace. We are so lucky to be part of the Husky family, because that is what it is a caring family that helps children develop academically and into the leaders of tomorrow.
