Testimonials

SOLE is a place that truly makes learning stress free. Our teachers are more relaxed with due dates. We offer volunteer hours, dual credits, and DAILY SNACKS! We hold fun events like Thanksgiving, Halloween, and Christmas lunches! But most importantly, we are an AMAZING TEAM that cares about one another.

SOLE Graduate

School has always been a place I dreaded going to. That was until I transferred to SOLE. I have absolutely zero complaints about the school at all. Incredible teachers, good food and a good group of students. Waking up on a school day a year ago was a chore but now it’s something I love doing!

Josh

SOLE Graduate

With the much smaller teacher to kid ratio, I hoped [my son] could dig out from 4 years of being under-educated due to illness, and schools not meeting his needs as a neuro-divergent learner. So far it’s been transformational. SOLE was developed as a school for kids that needed flexible study options due to sports (gamers and athletes), performance (actors, singers), or health reasons (chronic conditions).

Parent of a SOLE Student

The teachers at SOLE are incredibly helpful and care passionately for the wellbeing of their classes with such fervour the likes of which I haven’t seen anywhere else. Overall the small population allows for a stress-free learning environment full of intricate relations school-wide.

SOLE Student

I’m so grateful for all the help and encouragement SOLE gave [my son]. When he really needed someone to believe that he had a future to look forward to, you were there suggesting options and making new directions open up.
