I was enrolled earlier this year and dropped after completing the three pre-reqs and another course that was supposed to be a a prep course for post-graduation. Why did I drop? Because I was misled, disappointed, and utterly discouraged after taking the APEA 3P exam. We were the first cohort to have to take the APEA 3P exam which was not known to anyone until three weeks prior to the start of our next course (via email that we were signed up and had three weeks to complete as well as a brief description in the syllabus). If you aren't familiar with what the 3P exam is, it basically is a comprehensive exam that goes over Advanced Patho, Advanced Health Assessment, and Advanced Pharm. I believe it was 75 questions for 90minutes and we were all scheduled to take the exam during the 3rd week of our classes. Which YOU the student pay for at a discounted rate of about $60 doll hairs. Now let's get to the nitty gritty here, the courses are accelerated - 7 weeks of classwork, one week break in between, but they give you early access to the next course because it's all busywork without actually teaching you. Yes, normal for online schools for it to be all self-taught. Not a problem for me. My problem was why would they schedule a high stakes exam in the middle of the busiest week... well at least for anyone who was taking two classes at the same time... I'm not crying, you're crying. They FAILED to prepare us for this exam nor thought it was necessary to let us students know ahead of time that this exam was in the works. Michelle Heriford the director of the NP programs literally told me "We don't necessarily inform students we are updating courses as this is part of the academic process" - yes there is truth to this, but a high stakes exam like this?! I do not blame the idea behind why this exam can be helpful to determine where we as students stand in our knowledge. I blame the people involved for setting us up for failure. Initially, the syllabus stated that if we did not get a passing score on any of the 3Ps, we would have to audit those courses. Well, as it was, I did not get a passing score in any of the 3Ps which meant I would have to audit all three courses. But, wait, it gets better... I passed all of my courses with over 90% in all four classes. NBD at all, it's not like I tried or anything. Also goes to show how EASY these classes were and actually were not set up to help us pass the 3P exam. The best part is when I was doing my research on this exam, they had a whole guidebook for faculty who were going to implement this exam to help students feel prepared for this exam. This guidebook was incredibly easy to find, btw. TWO of the biggest and most important parts that should have been implemented: 1. Implementation of the 3P's in the coursework to better prepare students for the exam. 2. Have students take the 3P exam AFTER all three courses were completed. Needless to say, NONE of these things were done to better prepare their students for success. Nor were the staff prepared for what was going to hit them... 1. Tech issues occurred so not all students took the exam at the same time (I don't know timelines, but I would have to guess 1-3 weeks after some of us who had no issues) Hello, more study time for them, very cool. 2. After those of us who had taken the exam within the scheduled time frame, it was crickets for us from faculty. Anxiety, skyrocketed. Then we finally received communication that they were still waiting for all students to finish the exam due to IT issues after multiple students started bombarding their emails. 3. Heard nada until the very last day of our class (four weeks later...) WITHOUT any idea of what remediation would look like. But also because the faculty couldn't access our scores from the APEA to even know how everyone did. LOL. 4. Here is the BEST part. A majority of the students must have failed because they decided to have zero students audit any of the courses. SWEET! 5. On the last day, some of us heard back about what remediation was going to look like - extra reading materials and I believe CEUs that had to be signed off by faculty. Initially, it had to be completed before we could move onto our clinicals then changed their mind to let us do it during all of the courses/clinicals. See attached image for the rest cause I capped out on characters (:

Proceed with caution before signing your child up!!!!…read more I called the studio numerous times and left voicemails requesting a returned telephone call regarding being over charged several months in a row after the season ended. I called for months without any returned call, so I contacted the "facebook page". The owner Kate Price finally responded after deleting my review about my experience with the Academy of the Arts. Kate Price "owner/director" responded via Facebook she would personally look into the situation the following day (6/16/13) and call me. Needless to say I have yet to receive my refund or even the "assured" telephone call from Kate Price. Let alone a simple apology for the mistake, which would have gone a long way. Instead Kate Price used terms "IF you called and left a voicemail" and "IF you were overcharged". I find it very offensive questioning my integrity after I have tried to deal with this for several months. This was common throughout the year too. No one ever answered the phone or returned voicemails regarding lessons. I drove from West Bloomfield and took a half day off work to watch my niece practice, whose lessons I pay for as a present. I called prior to making the trip and of course no one called me back. Upon my arrival the staff was extremely rude and wouldn't allow me to watch practice despite my travel and service I pay for. The "end of the year" performance was a joke. They charged 10.00 a person (including my 3 year old daughter) to sit in a high school gymnasium hard bleachers, that was too hot and crowded with no air flow. It was very unorganized and hours sitting around watching other people's children and your own perform for 3 minutes. Once it was finally your child's turn to perform you had to go sit on the gym floor to even see her or capture a photo. This was all on top of an 85.00 leotard that was very basic, nothing special or flashy for the "End of the Year" performance. I would not recommend the Jackson Academy of Arts to anyone. You are paying for is the "name". They did a wonderful job creating their webpage to make the place look top notch. There are much better studios in the Jackson area with much better experienced and friendly staff. I would give Academy of the Arts and Kate Price "owner/director" NO STARS.
