Emily T. – Transitioning to online school

Emily lives in Thailand and enjoys hiking the beautiful mountains. She explains about transitioning to virtual school.

“I had been home schooling for quite awhile before finding Whitmore. I was nearing the end of my high school years and realized that I needed a change – an environment that would challenge me more and prepare me, both mentally and academically, for my college years and beyond.

I have only just started studying at Whitmore, but already I feel at home and well-adapted to the system. The staff and teachers are extremely helpful and engaged in my education. The coursework is never overloading, yet it still manages to be challenging. As long as I have a computer and internet access, I’m able to complete my coursework anywhere, anytime. At the airport, coffee shop, gym – you name it. Contrary to popular belief, home schooling has actually helped me to lead a more active lifestyle. Whitmore has allowed me learn at my own pace and comfort, and to discover new interests and work towards pursuing my dreams. Best of all, I’m able to spend more time with my family.”
