My now 5 yo son was struggling with things since he was 2 with hitting, biting, severe meltdowns,…read moreanxiety, focus, impulsivity among other things. We had been kicked out of 2 schools and working on our 3rd. We had been hearing about brain balance for awhile and decided it was time to check it out. From the very beginning we felt so much hope and encouragement. We were welcomed with open arms and felt like this was exactly where we needed to be... mainly we felt like we were surrounded by a community of friends who were there with you to connect and talk and encourage each other through struggles..in saying all of this the best part of brain balance is that we have seen so much emotional breakthrough in our sons life. He is also developed so much physical strength and balance and now is way more confident riding his bike and playing sports and doing much better in school and at home. He is a different child and now we have a foundation to build and continue to grow on. We have also come away with lifelong friends who have become more like family. We will never be able to thank all the coaches and staff enough for all their hard work and commitment to these kids and the families

This is really an exceptional school for those looking for a truly classical curriculum. We have 8…read morechildren and most of them have attended Thales the last four years. The teaching method is very effective. All my children read at a high level with fantastic fluency. My children have a strong math foundation and an impressive breathe of historical knowledge. I know there is lot of negative comments about this school and the administration online, but it is unwarranted. There are many lovely families at Thales, the tuition is very affordable, the year round schedule is the absolute best, especially if you have wiggly boys (we have five) Homework is minimal. I suggest looking at the school and speaking to the personnel, it will speak for itself.

We went to Thales Academy for several years starting at Kindergarten and enjoyed the experience…read moreoverall until the 24-25 school year. New administration came in and ran it more like a military school. If you question the slightest thing, your family is expelled without warning. she eliminated the PTA, eliminated class parties, eliminated play dates and mom's nights. Also enforced silent lunchtime. So after being silent and still all morning, they still were required to be seen and not heard. Then they continued on with more classes. We made it through the year, despite almost pulling them mid school year. It would have been more detrimental to start a new curriculum at a new school 1/2 way through. Our teacher was required to assist with admin duties, so 4-5x a week a substitute was teaching the class instead of the teacher. No matter how you spin it, the sub can't know everything about the class and be able to pick up where the teacher left off. No matter what admin says, my students were on the disadvantage because the teacher was in charge of doing tours or admin work. Often times I was told by my student they didn't have to do class because the substitute couldn't figure out the TV/IPAD combo. Most students that were previously enrolled left because of her leadership. If there are positive reviews about this school, note the date. It was a very different school prior to 2024-2025 and it's only going to get worse.

I purposely bought the course to have printable reference and also bc a lot of time I don't have the ability to listen to audio lectures that require wifi, or Internet access. When they changed the course midway, they changed everything to audio. Also, there is no reference given to identify sources. How do we put blind trust in Jessie? For the amount of money, I will finish. However, I recommend that you take a real distance learning course with reference and materials. There are many to choose from. I will be completing one of those next.

Thrive Tutoring is such a great resource for studying for the ACT! I am a rising Senior I used…read moreThrive Tutoring for a practice ACT test over the summer before my Junior year. Evan was my proctor and he supported me through the hours we were together taking the ACT. Once I got finished with the test, I immediately got my score and Evan answered any questions that I had about the test. I also purchased the Thrive Tutoring ACT analytics which told me everything that I needed to know about how I performed on the test. The night before my real ACT all I did to study was look over the extensive analytics I got from my practice test with Evan. Because of this, while taking the ACT I felt confident because those analytics really gave me effective pacing guidance. A few weeks later I got my score back and I found out that I got a three point increase in my score from that summer!! The analytics really were the major factor that let me achieve this feat. Thank you Thrive Tutoring!

My 16 year old son met with Suzanne from Above Grade Level for a series of tutoring sessions to…read morehelp him boost his reading score. He started off going to one of her practice tests at the library, which included an excellent debriefing. During this meeting with Suzanne, I felt comfortable that she had a wealth of information about standardized testing and about math-kids who need help with reading. Sam met with her a number of weeks and when he re-took the ACT, his reading score drastically improved. I would recommend Above Grade Level to anyone who wants a personalized intervention. I could never get my kids to do any online practice tests on their own and they did not make the time to use the review books. A tutor was the best option for us and I could not have been happier with the money and time we spent with Above Grade Level.
