The school ensures students are prepared for the remainder of their education. The other charter school that uses the same principles and learning environments is the Aveson Global Leadership Academy for students in sixth through twelfth.

Parents have mixed thoughts regarding the school with some believing the school should focus more on testing while others are very pleased with the curriculum. All stated that teachers are very devoted and caring. A few mentioned that the school is blending the Montessori method along with the other teaching methods which is a unique blend that is helping students succeed.
