Fusion Academy - Ardmore Avaliações 19

We had an unpleasant experience here after what was initially a nice impression of the team and programs.

We registered for a package and soon realized our son was. not a fit for the teacher. We reached out to the admins and were in the prcoess of working out an alternative.

Long story short, we made a clerical error with the portal, and they counted that as us having "been absent" for 9 classes, even though the team knew quite clearly (both administrators and teacher) that we weren't attending. I understand that parent portals are our responsibility and ok , I will take the loss for a class or two, but I mean, a student doesn't show up for 9 classes, and after 1 or 2, they don't reach back out to the family?

They just let the classes keep racking up unattended, because they'd been pre-paid. This is not ethical business practice and I felt intentionally taken advantage of. Not at all what I expected from a program like this that works with homeschoolers and self directed education communities.

I reached out and expressed my discontent, and asked that we find a compromise and was met with a hard no.

Note that I can count on one hand the number of times I've written a negative review about anything.

This school has been a game changer. My son went from strongly resisting school, getting into trouble, social anxiety and mediocre grades to wanting to attend, loving his classes, making new friends and straight As. The customized environment is something I wish every kid had.

Very caring, kind, patient teachers who make kids remember they like learning. Very positive experience!

All of our daughter's teachers are so wonderful and make her feel like she is in a safe and supportive enviornment to learn. They always provide thorough summaries after each class so we are always aware of how she is doing. Every faculty and staff member we have met has been so welcoming!

Wonderful, compassionate staff and instruction.

The teachers are AMAZING the administration is terrible. Once we got past the scheduling problems my child began doing great. But then the semester ended and we were supposed to meet early to discuss next years schedule but that never happened. Instead the school requested I sign a contract and talk about the schedule later. I just wish the administration part was as great as the teachers.

I used to fight every morning, trying to get my child to go to school. Now, we go in the afternoon, and there is no fight at all. And most importantly, my child is FINALLY learning, instead of just clocking in the hours at public school. A game changer for our entire family!

Natalie loves her tutoring session with Chris Jackson and we appreciate his summaries. Natalie is looking forward to going full time to Fusion next school year.

Great instructors and overall positive experience.

Communication was difficult regarding schedule changes or absence notification.

Our son had been struggling with the noises and distractions of school for years. These environmental factors interfered with his ability to learn and he by the time he got to middle school impinged on his self-esteem.
Fashion provided a turn around--like water on a wilted plant--we have seen our son's interest in learning and emotional health transform. The learning culture of the school and the relationships he has with his teachers have been key in helping our child find joy and excel in his studies. At home, our dinner conversation often turn on interesting things happening at Fushion-our entire family has benefit!

The one on one teaching has helped my children’s confidence immensely. Thank you!!

We found fusion through a therapist for our child who has ADHD, serve anxiety, and is extremely intelligent. Our educational journey with our child has been disheartening to say the least and the traditional school model has failed him. Our child has a year and a half left of school and we only wish we would have found Fusion sooner. Our child has hated school since about the fifth grade year.

He now attends the Ardmore Fusion Academy and we couldn’t be more pleased with his experience. His teachers are all excellent. He is thriving educationally in their one to one teaching model. He just started making friends after being there for about four months-it took him some time to trust in the school after not trusting for so many years. It was great to hear him talking and smiling about a new friend who had common interest as him.

It was a very hard decision to send him to this school as we are paying for the education but we felt it was extremely important that our child attended a school where he was validated for how intelligent he is while working around his anxiety, ADHD, and slow processing speed. We remortgage our house to make this possible and so far it has been worth every sacrifice we’ve made. The teachers are all excellent, the administration is excellent, and everyone is understanding and accommodating.

For most of my child’s educational career I’ve said we’ve just got to get him to graduation. We’ve told him it’s non-negotiable. He will do great as an adult but school is a real struggle for him after all the years of mistrust and some horrible bullying that resulted in physical violence. But in the back of my mind I knew there was a strong possibility that he’d drop out as soon as he was 18. He turns 18 in his senior year. I now no longer feel that way. Fusion has not only helped him greatly but has also helped me feel relief that my child is with a group of adults and peers that all show and give respect. In the beginning I wasn’t sure how I felt about the teachers and administrators all being on first name basses with the children. I grow up in an environment where all adults where called by their last name because that was one way we were taught respect. Here at Fusion they go by first name because they feel it shows a mutual respect and helps the kids and young adults like my son connect better. I also now feel this way as well.

I could write a book about our journey both before and during Fusion but all the words I could write would not express how deeply satisfied and grateful we are for our experience thus far. If you are able to find the resources to pay for this excellent education I would highly recommend that you do. Had my child stayed in the traditional educational environment he would most likely be a child with an IEP who the school also was just trying to push through to graduation. At his old school the teachers were powerless in what they could do to help my child. He was in the lowest track courses despite his high intelligence because they couldn’t work around his disabilities and give him the time and attention that every student deserves. They had to abide by rules, policy, politics, and attention they could give to each student. At Fusion each teacher has the power to come up with a plan best suited for each student. My child has had bad days at Fusion (due anxiety and other medical issues) where the class became a mentoring session instead of a learning session. It has greatly help push my son forward. I love the ability Fusion and the teachers have to provide whatever is needed on a particular day to help my child flourish. He is no longer in low track courses and is thriving. I highly recommend Fusion and suggest you give them a call to check out their school and culture.

FUSION HAS BEEN THE BEST THING FOR MY DAUGHTERS EDUCATION. NO OTHER SCHOOL HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO FOR HER WHAT FUSION HAS.SHE ENJOYS SCHOOL AGAIN.SHE LOVES HER TEACHES AND THE OTHER STUDENTS.I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL!!!

Fusion has opened the world for my daughter. She is more confident, engaged, and attends willingly and eagerly every day.

I, feel as though my daughter has thrive since starting fusion. I also feel the staff is very considerate there’s never been a time when I needed them and they weren’t there for me and my family. Thank you fusion for all you do keep up the great work.

Fusion Academy is one of the best schools I’ve seen in a very long time. Their person centered approach has not only improved my son in the area of academics but his overall self confidence has grown as well.
I’d like to thank Fusion Academy’s staff for the great work they are doing and I ask them to Keep up the good work.
Thanks

Amazing school! Has helped my child sooo much! I feel like they really care about my child’s education and I love the fact that they can do virtual if something pops up! The only draw back is that the staff seems to change often.

Fusion Academy is the best school. In Ardmore
