Julie in CA Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I'm looking for online courses for high school and ran across this: http://www.thegraceacademy.org/ I like a lot of the features...especially the instant chat with a teacher during business hours, and the flexibility of completing the class more or less on your own schedule within the school year. I also think that at $399 per high school class, the price is relatively reasonable if the content is good. Anyone know anything about Grace Academy? (I'm x-posting this on the high school board too) Thanks, Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyAberlin Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 It seems I remember someone talking about them and that they had a horrible experience. It might have been on homeschoolreviews.com. Of course Grace Academy is probably a common type of name so I may have it confused with something else. It isn't related to Jubilee Academy is it? I would go post on homeschoolreviews.com and see if you get an answer, because I really think that is where I heard about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumping In Puddles Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 They have a terrible reputation and are run by someone named Mimi Rothschild who runs many "academies" and is generally thought to be a fraud. I would run far, far away from that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbie Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Laurel Springs might have the same set up. Dd took a summer course w/them and it worked well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildwood Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Just adding, that I too, have heard about fraud issues with Grace Academy as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela&4boys Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I've heard some very strong negative reviews. They go under several names (red flag for me) like "Jubilee Academy" and "Morning Star Academy", but I can't remember the others. Disclaimer: I've never personally used their curriculum.
