The school provides a good Christian education at home. The teachers are very supportive and attentive towards my child's needs whenever he is stuck in his lessons. I was also updated weekly about my son's progress and things he should work on. However, some lessons and projects require more time to complete, especially if your child is still getting used to studying at their own pace. I would definitely recommend this school for homeschooling.
Cons: None
Grades Used: High School 9-12
Wonderful school. Ignite Christian Academy prepared my daughter for college and gave her back her confidence, which she had lost in a traditional brick and mortar school setting.
Excellent
Sorry, but no. I started my Freshman year here 4 years ago, I have to say, biggest regret. I wasted 4 years, I fell months behind because it truly was difficult to complete everything on time. You couldn’t work ahead if you hadn’t finished a project, which the projects sometimes would required a week of “results” to finish, so you’d fall behind a week in assignments till you finished your project. Tons of things that truly made learning feel like a chore instead of enjoying it. Teachers were not very kind. I love setting goals and working hard, but this academy stole my confidence for 4 years until I saw other reviews saying the work was a lot as well. To be fair, I did like that tests were not timed. Other than that, this academy is a no.
Cons: Everything/ false advertising
Grades Used: 5th
It’s not what I signed up for. I made it very clear that I’m a single mother who works from home and I can’t be his teacher. I was told my child would have live teachers that teach the curriculum. That’s why I was willing to pay so much. It is not true. You basically pay them to grade papers. Assignments are several sections of reading then they answer questions. Over and over then a test. If they want to communicate with there teacher they make an appointment. And you don’t really know if you need help until after you fail the test. It is very misleading. It is not working at your own pace. You have to complete the year when they say you’re supposed to complete it. You have 1 week after that date as a grace period or you fail. I could have signed up for online public school for free. Paying almost $300 a month for someone to grade papers is absurd. Unfortunately I signed a contract and we have to finish out the year. Now I know why they require a contract. I will never do this again!! Other schools have live teaching for $50 more. So disappointed!
