Spring Academy

My 8th grade son started to have significant struggles 2/3 way through the school year and we needed to get him into a to program quickly while keeping him on track academically. Principal Ryan Malone worked with us to tailor a program which fit our needs and our time schedule. For 2.5 months, Spring Academy was THE school my son attended. He loved his teacher/tutor - her calm demeanor and encouraging personality boosted by son's esteem and allowed him to make steady academic progress. Administrators Ryan and Rob also connected with my son and offered additional encouragement and support. Even though my son has transitioned to a larger, more traditional high school he still takes the bus up to periodically visit Ryan and Rob because he really likes them and continues to feel support from them. Great people. Great experience.

The Spring Academy offered a natural transition from the great progress our son made at the Lehman Academy with some executive function challenges. The pacing of the work is one of the greatest attributes of the program. His forward progress is based on him demonstrating proficiency with the subject matter. If it takes a little longer, his teacher is there to patiently support him. He is also given the opportunity to test out of specific sections for which he is proficient. The Spring Academy’s curriculum is accredited in Washington State and there are several objective forms of measurement by which our sons progress is monitored. For our family the subjective forms of measurement are meaningful as well. He is always ready to go his twice a week, hour long session at the Spring Academy. Most often he is smiling when we pick him up as he tells us about how he “gets it” or that he just did well on an exam. We are also appreciative of the Principal Ryan Malone. He was very generous with his time in helping us decide if the Spring Academy would be a good fit. The accredited curriculum along with Ryan’s help made it easy to substitute his math class at Seattle Public Schools with another subject. Our son will receive full credit for his Math class conducted at the Spring Academy. The Spring Academy offers a very flexible schedule which gave us lots of options for our son’s busy extracurricular schedule. We really appreciate that they are open till 7pm. We are very happy to have found the Spring Academy and would recommend it to anyone seeking help for a student experiencing a learning challenge.

I learned more than a full year of math in one semester here. By learning other things as I went, I learned everything I should have learned in public school in the last several years to a much higher level of understanding than I originally had.

Our senior took a pre-calculus class from Spring Academy and we (and he) could not have been happier. While math is not his favorite, he realized that as a college-bound student, he would need to have pre-calculus and he was determined to do better. We chose Spring Academy as it utilizes one-on-one instruction and felt it was optimal for his comprehension of the material. He liked his teacher a lot. One of the best things about Spring Academy is that he needed to take this class "outside" of his regular school hours AND he was a football player. Spring Academy allowed our son to start the classes after football season and worked hard to accommodate his schedule. From the administration to the instructor, I feel that Spring Academy cares about its' students and their success. Highly recommend them.
