I love doing GPS Global Academy Online School because there are options such as you can work at your own pace. Along with how you can meet with your teachers for the first years of high school so that once you get the hang of it you can do things at your own pace and on your own time. I also love how you can still always email your teachers for help and set up a time to meet with them for tutoring. They also have virtual clubs such as Photo club which im a part of. Not only that but we do field trips and people can get involved and even though I live far I can sill drive out and participate and do my testing and the testing rooms are quiet and comftoble. They also provide a computer and calculators for testing. But I just really love the school and will miss it when I graduate. Also the ladies in the front office are extremely nice and supper helpful and you can just feel all the genuine love.

Poor leadership and shameless management. They think they are as good or better than Amazon but GPS Global Academy cannot survive a month if it is a private industry.

Global Academy uses a wonderful curriculum that is engaging and supports the AZ education standards. The teachers are supportive and friendly. The online programs and tools used by Global Academy are useful and easy to master. This years has been a wonderul experience because of all the exciting activities we have done and the new friendships I have made online. I really love Global Academy. I'm so glad I chose to be a part of GGA = )

Rude, unresponsive, and completely unconcerned about the students or their success. My only explanation of how they are so terrible is they think they have a monopoly because they are the only online school promoted by gps. My three biggest complaints are the communication. If they write back it’s a...

GGA HS can be considered as a temporary shelter during the pandemic. They are disorganized and the quality of education suffers as a consequence. Half of the classes started a week late. The teacher could spend more than a month on one chapter. The attendance requirement is very counterproductive, a...
