iUniversity Prep

Our first year at iUniversity Prep has been nothing short of fantastic. Transitioning from a different online school, where my daughter, a 6th grader, was enrolled, we've found this experience to be leaps and bounds ahead in terms of curriculum and support. Originally opting for online schooling due to the challenges posed by Covid-19, we quickly appreciated the flexibility it offered in scheduling.In comparison to her previous experiences in both brick-and-mortar and online schools, this institution stands out for its more rigorous curriculum, abundance of social clubs, and myriad opportunities for students to delve deeper into subjects beyond the standard curriculum. What's more, the staff here is not only supportive and friendly but also remarkably knowledgeable, genuinely invested in the students' experiences.It's worth noting that online schooling isn't suited for every child. It requires a certain level of self-discipline, a genuine thirst for learning, and the ability to stay focused. Keep that in mind as you read reviews and be sure to take it into consideration as you make the decision best suited for your student.

Initially, this school seemed promising, but its current state has left much to be desired. The workload assigned by the teachers has become overwhelming. I find myself staying up from late at night to early morning just to complete assignments. Weekends and holidays are no exception as I attempt to catch up. The constant reliance on the computer throughout the day is taking a toll on me. I chose this school to avoid bullying in public schools, but now I'm experiencing a different kind of distress due to the excessive workload, leading to a sense of depression. Despite putting in significant effort, I can't seem to keep up, and the promise of working ahead feels elusive when new assignments keep pouring in daily. The burden of schoolwork has become so intense that I'm considering returning to public school. The current situation, with schoolwork stretching until 3 AM, is not sustainable for a teenager like me. It's disheartening, and the thought of giving up is becoming increasingly tempting. In addition to the overwhelming workload, another issue I've encountered is the lack of responsiveness from the teachers regarding assignments. Communication with them is challenging, as they often do not promptly respond to queries or provide feedback. This further compounds the difficulties I face in keeping up with the assignments, as the absence of timely guidance makes it harder to understand and complete the tasks effectively. Improved communication from the teachers would significantly contribute to a more manageable and supportive learning environment.Userrewrite in big wordsChatGPTFurthermore, an exacerbating factor in my academic challenges pertains to the inadequate responsiveness exhibited by the instructors in addressing assignment-related inquiries. Communication with them proves to be arduous, as they frequently fall short in promptly attending to questions or furnishing feedback. This compounded issue adds an additional layer of complexity to the already burdensome task of keeping pace with the assignments, as the lack of timely guidance hinders my ability to comprehend and fulfill the tasks proficiently. Enhanced communication on the part of the instructors would undeniably contribute substantively to cultivating a more navigable and supportive educational milieu.

We are starting our 7th year at iUniversity Prep. Overall, the school is a fantastic option for anyone looking for a great education with much more flexibility than brick and mortar schools. The coursework is rigorous enough to prepare students for college without bogging them down with busywork. iUP teachers and staff are knowledgable, caring, responsive, and focused on ensuring students' success. The live lesson environment is supportive and positive. Our only complaint is the state requirement that the kids attend in person STAAR and EOC testing, but iUP has no control over that.

We enrolled our daughter as a 6th grader during covid and planned for her to be virtual for a year. She had such an extraordinary academic experience she asked to stay. Now she is starting HS and feels strongly that IUP is preparing her well to get into a tier 1 or 2 school. The professors do an amazing job of engaging the students and surprisingly getting to know them. They teach their students to advocate for themselves as well as learning to communicate well with a professor. Our daughter loves IUP and all that it brings to the table for learning. She doesn’t mind that she isn’t having a traditional HS experience, she feels it’s a great trade off for flexibility and the ability to actually learn at her pace and not be waiting for everyone else or wasting time. Someone complained in a review about state testing, i would say that we feel the opposite, while they do STARR PREP, it isn’t until a few weeks before testing and I love that they give students all that they need to do well and succeed at the test. But comparing the prep and info given vs what our friends in brick and mortar are getting, it’s like comparing apples to oranges and they make prep fun and the kids love it because it’s done in person!! The leadership, staff and professors are in it!! They want your kids to succeed and enjoy it while they are succeeding. We feel lucky to have found IUP

This is my son‘s first year at the school. He came from a school where bullying was never addressed and teachers had zero interest in doing anything above the Bear Bend moon. I finally had enough when my son told me he would rather take his own life then to go back to school the next year. A friend of mine recommended looking into I university prep. I am so happy I did. It has been life changing for the entire family. If his grades start to slip they called, they set up extra study time, they go above and beyond to make sure that he is on course for success. He is so happy to go to school every day. Even though it is an online school he is up dressed big smile on his face ready and eager to learn. The teachers are great and the homework is nowhere near what it was at his last school. Before he had to carry five books with binders and notebooks and supplies for each class because the school didn’t have lockers. Now, he just reaches next to him to his bookshelf and is ready to go if he needs a notebook or any additional reading. But for the most part everything he needs is right there on his laptop. My son is an actor which was the cause of the building at his previous school. Now at IUP he is amongst peers that also are high achieving, creative, talented kids. Everyone gets along there is no more bullying there is no more clicks or anything like that. It’s as if someone took all of my desires for utopian educational system and waved a magic wand and brought it to life. I could go on for days about how happy I am with the school but nobody wants to read that much. Lol. I’ll leave you with this , this school saved my child’s life and I will forever be grateful to them for all that they have done and all they continue to do. Yes it is hard to keep it kid focused and in front of a computer and on task when it’s so easy to click over to YouTube or something else like that or get distracted by toys in the room or chatting with friends. But if you have a child that is able to be disciplined and rigorous in their desire for a great education, then you should have no problems at all with them excelling in this environment. The school also has meet ups monthly so he does get to interact with other students face-to-face not just on computer . And they have clubs as well.
