Marilyn Mosley Gordanier, founder and Director of Laurel Springs School, tells you what you should look for in a school.

More and more private school families are looking to online education and are finally finding what they're looking for when it comes to college preparation. At Laurel Springs School, every day my staff and I speak with parents who want their child to be educated within a rigorous curriculum equivalent to a private school or boarding school. Yet, for a multitude of reasons, traditional day school is not a good match for their child. Most of these families are not inspired by traditional homeschooling practices, with the parent doing the majority of the teaching, researching curricula, keeping records, and so forth. They want an accredited private school that offers online college prep academics, college placement services, great teachers, a strong school community, and programs for the college-bound student, such as the National Honor Society, special interest clubs, credit for internships, and more. I'm so happy to offer them all of this and more at Laurel Springs School.

Since 1991, Laurel Springs School has been on the leading-edge of K-12 distance learning. Our graduates attend the top colleges and universities in the nation. Our American college prep curriculum draws students from more than 40 countries. Laurel Springs graduating seniors average a total of more than $1,000,000 annually in college scholarships. While Laurel Springs offers academics to elementary and middle school students, we specialize in college preparation and placement. High school students at Laurel Springs can choose between two college and career planning programs: the College Prep Program and the Premier College Prep Program.

Laurel Springs is not the most expensive distance learning program, nor is it the least expensive, but for the price it is the highest value you can find. Our teachers grade every assignment, and they are not multiple choice or fill-in-the-blank lesson responses. Our teachers and staff build relationships with every student and family, supporting them in their academic and personal goals. Students thrive within a rigorous and structured curriculum, the flexibility and freedom to work at their own pace and customize lessons with their teachers, college counseling and mentoring, and a vibrant online student community that comes together annually for real-life events such as prom and graduation.
