I used this institution back in 2004 online to receive my high school diploma. I never step foot…read moreinto the school everything was done online. I received my books, I took the necessary courses on the computer, I passed the final exams, I received a high school diploma in the mail. I have tried to further my education and I have had a horrible time locating someone for high school transcript. Upon further investigation I have found out that this entity is not federally accredited. It is not a real school! I have been on the phone with the superintendent of Duval county, and on the website with the commissioner of the school district to receive a high school transcript but they have stress to me that this school was private and did not release any of their records to a public entity. (904)381-1935 is the only phone number listed for this school. It is supposed to be the phone number to the President of the company Mr. Richard Frisby. The telephone number is not in service! There is a website listed for this school but it leads you to a Singapore gambling website. Which is probably another SCAM! The only other additional faculty members that listed was Barbara Cornelius. There was no telephone listed for her but there was an interview done back in 2018 and she did not want to give an open statement. All she said was that if a First Coast Academy recipient went to get the GED and they have to pay for it,she would reimburse them. Very confusing and frustrating. I'm 40 years old and this is the year 2025! I'm having to deal with a Scam over 20 years old and go back to school for a GED instead of a diploma. What gives?!

Our oldest daughter graduated 6th in her high school class, earned her degree in civil engineering (cum laude) from the University of Florida, later earned her designation as a Professional Engineer, and currently is employed as a Transportation Engineer with HDR Engineering planning and designing expressways, etc. Our youngest daughter graduated from high school with a full Bright Futures scholarship to Florida State University, posted a 3.8 grade point average with a degree in Studio Art, later earned her designation as a Landscape Designer, and currently is a full partner with a local landscape designer (Foxy Foliage). I highly recommend EDS to any parent who would like to see their child reach his or hers learning potential. John Fox

My family and I have been Y members for nearly 3 years until just a couple of weeks ago when we…read moremoved away. I unequivocally and 100% recommend the Y for a family. Staff are all generally all helpful. Front door staff try to be quick. The service desk can be quick, but lines do occur since there is generally only one or two people working it. The KidZone staff are the true gems of the Y. My daughter loved all the caring folks who watched her daily for a couple of hours while we worked out. I cannot tell you how great they are. I never used the training staff, but they were helpful when needed. The one staff member that completely sucks is the skinnier old guy with the grey beard. That guy has the ick and tried to shoo me away from equipment when I was working out on it just because he wanted it. I politely let him know the equipment would be available when I finished. The Y activities for our daughter were really great. During our time at the Y we participated in an Easter Event, Daddy Daughter Dance, Wellness Days, Christmas events, and more. This really helped us feel part of the community and I made some great adult friends. The programming staff are stars at their job. The indoor pool is amazing. My daughter went from zero swimming skills to being completely able to swim alone at 3.5 years of age. The program pool is heated and made teaching our daughter how to swim a great experience. Parking can be difficult at the Y if you come in the afternoon. Saturday mornings were also another time you would want to avoid the parking situation. It would be great if they paved the other lot and added lines. It was the Wild West down there. Additionally, folks will dent your car and not care or leave a note. Parking here with a nice car is a big issue especially if you want to avoid dozens of small dents and chips. The actual weight lifting area is perfectly fine. If you are someone that likes classic weight lifting gyms, this really isn't the place to join. You can get a great workout in, but I found folks lacked gym etiquette knowledge. Same for the running track upstairs where there are running directions for each day. The amount of folks that cannot read directions is a bit appalling. Additional areas that are great are the full sized basketball court with 6 hoops and the playground outside. I found time to play basketball every week. The one downside is no basketball league for adults and unequal time given to basketball compared to other sports. I would have loved a volleyball drop in too. Considering how popular volleyball is in the area, it would have made sense to add. Overall, the Y is amazing. There are many great staff members and many great members that made coming here a wonderful experience.
