Parent and Student Reviews
- I am so excited that U-Tech is now bringing the experience of JIA to students outside of Michigan! My time at JIA was pivotal to my success later in life. The unique structure of the program allowed me the flexibility to tailor my education to fit my individual needs, which was a game-changer for me. I took advantage of my flexible schedule to enroll in college courses and collaborate with JIA/U-Tech staff to create custom curriculum that aligned with my post-high school goals.The tools and strategies I gained during my time at JIA equipped me to excel in graduate school and now in my career as a Data Scientist at Garmin. The emphasis on critical thinking and self-directed learning has proven invaluable. I cannot recommend JIA/U-Tech enough!Written September 20, 2024
- It was a delight studying here, the environment that Ms Rhodes has been able to provide for us students is incredible. Their flipped learning approach truly allows you to get the most out of learning and the teachers are overjoyed with assisting you to succeed.It feels great to have studied in such an environment where it’s evident that the teachers are interested in you as a students and push you to succeed.Additionally, you get so much more more out of this experience than just studying as we were able to partake in a number of extracurricular activities such as competitions as well as having the option to sit exams to attain further qualifications to aid in furthering our understanding of the given subject. Studying here was a truly unforgettable experience and I’m deeply grateful to Ms Rhodes and the rest of the staff for creating such an environmentWritten July 25, 2024

- JIA was the perfect choice for my middle and high school careers. JIA set me up for real success. While there I was able to take college courses, take 2 different tech center courses which set me up to pursue my career of Dental Hygiene. The staff at JIA really care for their students. They strive to make themselves available for their students and want to help them succeed. JIA gave me the chance to make lasting friendships with people from all throughout the school including classmates, those in grades around me and with the teachers! If you ask any JIA student they will tell you that flexibility is just one of many strong suits of JIA. While being flexible JIA also has the structure to keep a procrastinator, like myself, up on their work. Overall JIA was the best way for me to learn, grow, and truly set me up for life after high school while also giving me the best 4 years of high school I could ask for.Written July 8, 2024

- We are delighted with Elea High Online School because they have offered us personal advice and attention to detail to the needs of our daughter. We joined the school because there is not any Bristish school nearby. She has learned so much Science and Spanish this school year. The school has provided remarkable support and dedication to her well being. Their school coaching really makes her feel welcomed and part of the community. Online schooling has allowed her to choose and take IGCSEs at her own pace. This gives her more time to do her hobbies with friends and spend quality time with us. We are thankful with Elea High and we are joining again next year!Written May 30, 2024
- Elea High online school has changed my perspective on studies such as maths which for me is considered to be a tough subject but since I joined the school I have kept improving and understanding the subject better. I started to socialize more and share my working outs with the whole class and together finding the mistakes and correcting them. The teachers are so nice and committed to making me understand the subject that they are teaching. The students are very friendly and always there if you need help or just chat about anything. The school has a variety of students from different nationalities which we get to see on the Friday assemblies and talk to, which I love the most in the school. Not to forget the weekly quiz in the assembly which is so fun to participate in.Thank you Elea High students, teachers, and the Principal; Respected Mr David Lewis.Written May 30, 2024
