Accelerated Schools is an amazing environment where the teachers support my son’s neurodivergence while also challenging and engaging him academically with personalized attention and an individualized learning plan. The teachers and staff are caring and responsive to our family’s needs and concerns. We were so fortunate to discover Accelerated Schools and highly recommend it to anyone else seeking a neurodivergent-supportive environment with an emphasis on academic excellence.
As parents of a 12th grader at Accelerated Schools, we are so grateful for the education and community that our son has experienced at Accelerated Schools over the last two years! The individualized learning, low student to teacher ratio and personal touch have been ideal for our son. He learns better, enjoys school more and is growing academically and emotionally thanks to Accelerated Schools.
I can’t say enough good things about Accelerated Schools. Traditional public school was not meeting my son’s needs as a twice-exceptional learner and he struggled to belong. He is now thriving at AS and feels welcomed and valued. AS is like a second family to us. All the staff are so generous with their time and attention. A million times thank you for all that you do! I feel grateful every day that we are part of the AS community!
You all and this school is wonderful! Such a breath of fresh air. What you all do for these kids is incredible. [student] is so happy to be there. I feel now that this school is a better fit for her and it was meant to be. So thankful we found you all. I want people to know about you all — I am going to post in a major support group about the positive experience we have had there.
She had the most wonderful day today! She absolutely loved it! [student] was telling both of us all about it. She said how much she loved her new school! She absolutely loves all of you — absolutely adores you and the entire staff.
I can see the recent positive change in [previous student] already. Thank you for giving him a chance to excel in your program.
Thank you for your dedication & care you bring to the students. [Previous student] just loves his time with you in music class and we’re so appreciative of your efforts with him.
Thank you for all your help this year. Not only does my transcript look so much better, but I feel hundred times better about myself.
I am so grateful for the obvious effort you invest in your students! I am quite certain that if I had ever had a math teacher as wonderful and invested as you, I might have learned so much more :). Thank you for your regular email updates, but thanks more deeply for your commitment to math education.
I just wanted to say thank you for everything you did for me when I was at Accelerated. I couldn’t have graduated without you, Michelle! Thank you so much.
[Previous student] told me she loved the 1:1 time with you yesterday! Thank you for your patience and encouragement with her! Listening to music was a highlight! She thought it was so fun!
Saying Thank You to you seems so insignificant to what you have done for our family. In several hours, you managed to help us more than anyone has over the past 7.5 years. Your words of encouragement and empathy for our situation has helped all of us more than all of the individual counselors, social workers, family therapists, communication specialists, and the list goes on and on… You bridged a gap that is now enabling our family to try and put the pieces together again. [Previous student] is truly putting forth an effort that I haven’t seen before in years. You truly helped save our family unit, and we are all extremely grateful.
Just a letter to thank you for all of the help you have given me during all the rough times in my life. You affected my life greatly when I felt there was no one else around that cared. You were always there for me. You taught me so much, like never to give up and to always believe in myself. You showed me there was so much in life waiting for me. You guided me down the rough roads in life and reminded me that I was a good person.
It is hard to believe that summer is over and school year has already started. [Previous student] had a great summer, thanks to all of you. You would not believe how much she has changed and grown up in the last couple of months. The real reason for this letter is to let you know how thankful we are to you and the school and how much you have done for us. I know she wouldn’t have come as far as she has come without your help and support. Thank you just isn’t enough but it is the best the English language has come up with so far. Thanks again!
Just a note of thanks for all you’ve done for [previous student]. For the first time, he is anxious to go to school and shows real enthusiasm. His attitude is much better and feels a responsibility to get his homework done. He feels the daily report card has a lot to do with his new-found efforts, but most of all, he credits you all for caring about him. I want you to know how much we appreciate everything you do.
Thank you so much for everything you have done to support [previous student] at Accelerated! Even though we have had bumps in the road, he is so much further along than he ever has been. I really appreciate your love and dedication to helping him and all the other students!
