My kid says they are clear, they allow retakes on quizzes (same as in school) and she's on top of it.

Don't know about their other subjects.


Are Blue Tent classes one of the MCPS vendors?


No idea. you will have to ask your counselor if it is acceptable.

My kid tried one this summer and did not have a good experience. Withdrew after the first week and I lost $80.


Can I ask what prompted the withdrawal? Was it the format, the expectations, something else?
