RootAnn Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I don't know if they are going to do it again this year, but WHA did that "sit in on a class" thing last year for prospective students. If they offer it again this year, it might be possible to sit in on one of Lawrence's classes. Not sure if that will be enough (since DD & I sat in on one class where we got positive vibes off the teacher but are really disliking her this year :crying: ), but it is a start. The other idea might be to email & see if WHA will have some current student's parents email you with reviews? They are having a webinar on this Thursday that you can attend if you are interested. Info in the other WHA thread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, it is still under development. I was told it would be up the beginning of January and it is still not up. I did email them about it again today and also asked if it were possible to talk to some parents who have students in Mr. Lawrence's class currently. Honestly, we stand to lose a lot of money if he is not a good fit. There are only three or so weeks until open registration so I really hope they get those videos up. I just saw on their website today about the webinar and marked it on my calendar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Interesting. I thought they might do it again this year because I thought it was a successful recruitment tool last year. Also, I saw DD's Spanish teacher created an assignment titled something like, "Permission Letter for ..." the sit-in class thing. (Of course, phantom assignments show up periodically in her class and aren't actually assigned in Modules, so I wasn't sure.)

I hope you find someone who can PM you if they aren't willing to post in the open forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is from an email I got from WHA: "In lieu of open campus, this year we will be launching our Student Life section on the website. It will contain video clips of many of our live classes so that prospective students and parents can get an idea of how things work in the online classroom. The Student Life area of the website should be up and running hopefully next week, so keep a lookout on our website.

cintinative Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 FYI. I emailed Mr. Lawrence and he got me in touch with a parent, who was kind enough to answer a lot of questions for me. If you would like to see that, I can PM you. Just let me know. For her privacy, I will not post it on this open forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2hunangirls Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 There is a video on their main website of a class with Lawrence. Under the "student" tab, then "welcome to class." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This must be new! I have been stalking their website for a month now. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
