My teachers are great, and it feels like in-person school even though it’s online. We talk about NCAA eligibility and preparing for college in my seminar course, too, which I really value.
I love how learning online lets me balance school with training and competitions. My personal program lets me explore my outside interests, too. I also love my supportive community of teachers and friends.
My teachers were so supportive, which was the biggest thing for me. Also, Laurel Springs’ self-paced model allowed me to complete or delay school work when I was competing. The flexible structure was crucial.
