This school has been a gem for my son. He is currently in the 11grade. This is his 3rd year at Agora. He has had the opportunity to participate in activities at Villanova in reference to leadership and the counselors were extremely helpful in getting him set up to take his PSATs at a local high school.

The previous poster of December 2, 2008 has got to be kidding. June Brown has repeatedly ignored and then threatened parents who are inquiring about the school's administrative structure.

I am a 'first time to charter school' parent and after the first week, so far I am impressed with the organization and the personal contact. A few technical glitches the first week on the Agora side made things a little tense but in hindsight that wasn't that bad. Looking forward to a great year,
