“The level of trust between student and teacher has been far higher in the self-determined environment. The shift in roles and ability to help coach and also to learn alongside them and not direct every decision is amazing.”

 ~ High School SDL Teacher, Virginia 

“Students love that their time is respected, that they are treated as adults, that they choose their flexible schedule, they don’t sit in class all day, and they choose which subjects to dive deep in and which to just check the box for. Students and families appreciated the flexibility during the pandemic and most realize they don’t want to go back to the traditional way of school.”
