"Our son has been very happy at the Mentoring Academy. He is able to pursue classes that really engage him. He is taking accredited high school classes as well as two college classes. The Staff has a great rapport with students and encourages their intellectual curiosity and enthusiasm for learning. I think this school would work well for a lot of different kinds of students--certainly for bright, outside of the box kids, but also
for students who are still figuring
out what their passions are. The Mentoring environment encourages students to take the good kinds of risks-to try new kinds of classes and to learn about new things, in a supportive environment.

"We had a great experience with the Mentoring Academy after a disastrous experience with a small private school. Mentoring provides a self-paced, individualized learning experience. The director, John Muster, is a caring and engaged individual. He will spend significant time and energy getting to know your child and designing a program that is a good fit. Mentoring is an all-day school with little to no homework (schoolwork is done during school hours, 9-5:30). This is a wonderful relief if you and your child are tired of homework dance."
—Parent of Mentoring Academy Student, Class of 2019
"Most schools try to fit the student to the school. At Mentoring Academy, they fit the school to the student."
