Research shows the positive correlation that effective communication has on student achievement. So in an environment where educators, parents, and students have limited face-to-face contact, apprehension is expected.

It really is a first rate school.” “ My favorite classes are American History and Life Skills, because it is an elective that is helping me prepare for life after high school…using credit cards, living on my own, really useful stuff.” “ I like Provost Academy because if I need to I can go to school at night or on the weekends. Also, I can attend school at my own pace. If I’m behind in one subject or ahead in another subject, I don’t have to rush myself or wait for others to catch up.” “ For us what separates Provost from other traditional high schools is that it allows the flexibility that our daughter needs to pursue her interest in the performing arts and ballet.” A Spotlight on Satisfaction Feedback from Provost Academy South Carolina
