What People Are Saying
My son’s first grade year was amazing! Mrs. Payne was great working with my son to tap into his full potential as a special education student with autism. During this time, we even found out that his strength was in math. We can’t wait to see what his new teacher has in store for him as a GenEd/Resource student.

I am thankful that COA has intentionally cultivated such a community to deliver the best education so that these kiddos are free to be themselves! Thank you, COA, for pouring [your hearts] into the future generations. We will be returning!
Katie, 2024 Learning Coach

I have had some of the best teachers who take the time to show interest in their students. The teachers always keep you informed and make sure you are doing the best you can. The website is very easy to maneuver through and the schedule was great for a first-time online student.
Steven, 2023 student

Going virtual was an easy call for me. After my son was being bullied at his brick-and-mortar school, [we got tired of] those kids not being held accountable.
Since all of my kids have started at COA, they have thrived. I was scared at first because it was something new, but now there’s no looking back. Being able to provide my students with a safe environment to learn brings us so much peace.
With all that said, trying to manage four kids at home definitely has its challenges. But being able to physically see what they are doing, what they are working on, and provide help makes me an effective Learning Coach.
I couldn’t be more satisfied with the COA staff. They are great to work with and really try to answer your questions to the best of their ability. I just hope my story and experience will help other Learning Coaches or even help other parents who are struggling with multiple kids in a virtual school setting. My advice is to just keep pushing through because it will get easier.
