Just finished my 5th trip as a teacher! 3 in the middle school program and 2 in high school…read moreprogram. Amazing as always. I always recommend Close Up because it's the only program that takes students to these historical sites and has them think "why" and "what does that mean". The final message is always the same "how can you take what you've learned here back to where you live?" I could go on and on about why I pick Close up year after year to help educate my students but I think it says something that I also pick Close Up as a parent and when my youngest might only be 4 but she has declared she will be coming to "Washington CD" () when she's old enough The fact that I trust Close Up not only with my students, with my own children, says more than any review I could write.

CLOSE UP cancelled the trip due to lack of enrollment. The 3 families that actually paid the…read moredeposit lost our money. We understood that the deposit is not refundable if we cancel. But WE did not cancel. THEY cancelled. And they refused to refund our deposits. 3 struggling families, each out $500. Unacceptable. They didn't even offer to use that deposit as a credit for a future trip. I would not be able to trust them to even attempt to participate in another trip.

fusion academy is a good school for students who need a one to one teaching experience. The school…read moreitself is a nice building and nice teachers but very expensive. I went there for a year and I didn't learn alot of information. I got pretty good grades but I did better in public school. The reason I'm giving a one star isn't because of what they did when I was there it was what they did AFTER. I went back to public school this year because it benefits me better than this school. I made some friends at fusion so I kept in contact with them. My friend that goes to this school is telling me that my name is being brought up when he was getting in trouble. like he said that the people in charge are saying stuff about me behind my back how i must have logged into his account and said something just because it was improper English which is very rude and disrespectful especially because I don't even go to that school anymore. And this isn't a one time thing. When I would hangout with my friend Because he has off campus (meaning he can leave the building when he's not in class) he can leave and come back and sometimes he is late and they don't care but when they know I'm hanging out with him he was 2 minutes late and they yelled at him and emailed his parents. They would also be stricter when they know he was gonna be with me. I would not reccomend it because of how shady they are after I left but maybe it's just me. Just in case be careful.

I went to Fusion over the summer going into my junior year of highschool. At first I was scared as…read moregoing to a new school not knowing anything about it can be very scary. My first day they showed me around and treated me so well. as a special education student it felt very nice not to get judged by "normal" kids. I loved fusion as it helped with my math and writing. I will definitely be back again.

Our family's ILS journey began ten years ago when we moved from a military assignment in Germany to…read morenew jobs in the Pentagon. We looked for a school in which our two young sons would be immersed in a Christian and academically challenging environment. Our comprehensive search landed us at ILS. Since then, both of our sons have graduated from ILS and their sister is halfway through her time. The ILS community has truly been a blessing for our family. We have found that ILS is more than just a school--it is a place where parents and faculty come together to build a rich environment for our children. In addition to a solid academic foundation, our children learned to show genuine love and respect to those around them, an outcome that in many ways is more important than academic success. We attribute much of our children's maturity and academic excellence to their time at ILS. If you are considering a classical Christian education, we recommend ILS. We believe it has been an investment in our children's future that will pay dividends in their own families and communities. Chris and Jen Mulder
