Mountain Heights Academy

Mountain Heights Academy got my son through high school. They not only "got him through" but thoroughly prepared him for his next step. I so appreciate the principal allowing him to transfer in under extenuating circumstances and especially the special education department (he had an IEP) and teachers for taking him under their wing, figuring out his needs, and helping him learn how to communicate and stay on track, not getting behind. Also appreciate the counseling department who helped him learn about his adult options (school, work, etc). We appreciated the variety of classes offered as well as the way they were offered. For my son, who much prefers being outdoors than indoors, Mountain Heights was a great solution. I really can't say enough about how impressed I was with the counselor who meet with him regularly to explore his options, really taking time to help him figure out what he wants to do after high school and then teaching him how to do it, how to reach out and contact people, what the next steps are. He went in as a reluctant, quiet student who was just trying to fly under the radar to survive but has emerged confident in moving forward, confident in his choices, steady and grounded, knowing how to advocate for himself and feeling hopeful about his future. It's a wonderful thing to see and such a relief as a parent to have that kind of care and support from a team of administration, teachers, counseling, and special education. Thank you so much!

My daughter attended Mountain Heights Academy for the past year in order to take an additional class that didn't fit into her schedule at her local high school. Her teacher has been awesome. The counselor really worked with her schedule, and helped her get late extensions when needed. This has been a great experience for our family.

Just finished up the first year for our son (10th grade). As a parent, I loved how structured and set up everything is ~ you can see the entire term the first day. The flexibility was great, my son would sleep in, then often do all the work for one or two classes in a day and be done with those for the week (then he'd procrastinate and scramble on Friday). I was so impressed with the staff, from counselors to teachers. I liked the feedback and ability to talk with teachers easily, and they were so willing to work with us when my son needed some extra help.

My 10th grader goes here and calling it an online school doesn’t do it justice. Amazing school and amazing team of educators and counselors who are intelligent, compassionate, and dedicated to teaching. If you are on the fence or looking for the right place to send your child I would have no hesitation saying this is the place and they are the team that will ensure your son/daughter have a great experience. The technology is impressive as well - I’ve seen online college classes far less organized or involved as Mountain Height’s classes. Thanks everyone!

My daughter loved her teachers and the flexibility of Mountain Heights Academy. She actually likes math this year, which is amazing! Her math teacher has really explained the concepts in a way that my daughter understands and she has much more confidence in her math skills now.

The parent notifications about grades and time worked on each subject are very helpful.

I was at my wits end on what I could do to help my son be successful in school and not be bullied or targeted while doing it. I found Mountain Heights Academy by way of a friend and enrolling my son in this school was by far the best thing I could have done.
The teachers and administration are great to work with, very helpful and focus on doing what is best for my son. The teachers go above and beyond to make sure that his successes are often and they celebrate even the smallest of accomplishments.
I could not be more happy with an online program as I was with this school, and recommend it to anyone who needs something different for their children than traditional brick and mortar schools.
You can not go wrong with this school, the staff or the administration.

I loved Mountain Heights Academy, the staff is ALWAYS so helpful and the teachers REALLY care and are so engaged with my son and respond SO quickly to everything he needs. We have been with them for all four years of high school and we couldn't have dreamed of a better experience. There are activities and parties and service opportunities for the kids as well as one on one help in their school work. The courses are all fun, interactive, and highly informative and interesting, the assignments have purpose and keep my kiddo engaged in his own learning. I wish I could have had this great of an experience from my high school years and I wish it for you too!.
