[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re at Laurel Springs in their Academy program.  It’s been a positive experience.  Regardless of whether a student is in the traditional or AP program they have a full slate of AP courses.[/quote]

OP here. I called them today and apparently most classes are not live, apart from a few AP ones. I'm a bit concerned about that, although it certainly takes care of the time difference issue once we're in Europe! How did your child manage to stay motivated despite the absence of live instruction?

Our child is generally a very motivated self-starter.  When COVID initially shut down school, she was at an in-person school that pivoted to distance.  She really disliked the “replicate the traditional school day schedule online”.  She wanted to just get her work done and get on with the day.  Thus, the asynchronous program at Laurel Springs works really well for her (she also has a really time consuming extra curricular).  Asynchronous doesn’t work for everyone (our son would not be a good fit) but it can work really well for some.  As an aside, the school has a lot of interactive opportunities among students and teachers which our daughter appreciated. [/quote]
