“The support that my son has received from GWUOHS has been instrumental in his success as a performer, composer and writer. The flexibility has afforded him the time to create and collaborate with others. Education is paramount to our family and GWUOHS continues to provide a challenging curriculum.
I feel that the independence that my son has received as a student is preparing him to succeed in college. He is extremely independent and has had to learn study skills to stay ahead in his classes while balancing a full time job as a professional performer.
The school has taught him how to balance school and his creative endeavors and how to manage his time appropriately.
When the rest of the world paused and children were forced to transition into a virtual academic environment, our transition was seamless. My son knew exactly what was expected of him, and although his work as a professional actor in NYC was placed on hold, the continuity of attending GWUOHS provided much needed stability in a time of chaos.
My son's teachers are incredibly accessible who take the time to get to know him and want him to succeed in all of his endeavors ”
