Success Stories

“When I was 13, I was asked to star in a docu-reality series called ‘Road to Nashville’ which follows five musicians as we follow our dreams of becoming professional musicians. In 2016, I decided to enroll in Whitmore School so that I could focus on writing and recording in Nashville and Los Angeles. I have been able to keep my grades up and I will even graduate early.”

“I am a concert pianist and I travel the world performing. Whitmore School allows me to get my school work done from anywhere. I hope to to graduate early and attend a conservatory of music on the East Coast.”

“I have been cheering since I was 8. I love the sport and travel to competitions. Now I coach as well as compete. At Whitmore, I can get my school work done and still have the time I need for Cheer.”

“I live in South Carolina and commute to Charlotte NC every morning where I spend all day in  ballet warm-ups, technique classes, and rehearsals. After a long day, I still manage to find time in the evening to work on school work.

“I have been playing bass in a band since I was in the 6th grade. My current Band, Rusty Blue came together when I was in the 8th grade and we have been playing together ever since. Whitmore gives me the freedom to work and play.”

“When I was in the 8th grade, I got mono, and I was always too tired to do anything. My parents and I decided that attending online high school would be the best choice for me. I have always loved music, and going to school at home gave me more time to focus on writing and singing. Now I travel and perform with great musicians. Recently I travels through Europe for 3 weeks! These were the best weeks of my life. An yes, I am able to keep up with her school work too.”

“I live in Uruguay with my mom. There is a terrible problem with stray dogs in this country. My mom and I run a pet shelter where we find homes for the puppies. When I am not cleaning pens or playing with the puppies, I am doing my school work. Whitmore is great because I can do school anytime of day.”

“Whitmore High School helped me finish high school after I became pregnant at 15 years old. It may have taken me seven years to finish, but I did it! So no matter what the reason you think you can not finish school, trust me you can!”

“I graduated from Whitmore School in 2016. Whitmore challenged me to learn and get good grades. It wasn’t always easy, but I was so prepared for college, that I appreciate it now.”

Haley, a 2013 Honors Graduate, is majoring in Entrepreneurship Studies in college. She explains why she feels so prepared for college level work.

“I was a C student until Whitmore, and then I got straight A’s. The teachers at Whitmore School act like leaders – not bosses. They made me feel like I was part of the team.”

“My experiences at Whitmore School have been very positive. I am a grown adult now, but when I was a teen, I was unmotivated and immature. I didn’t like high school. I didn’t even try. My mom helped me research online high schools and thought this would be the best match for me. I don’t test well and this school was based on Mastery, which works better for me. Working at my own pace works well, especially since I have a full-time job.”

“I have three horses and rodeo on one of them. It is a lot of hard work, but it pays off because I get to ride such an amazing animal. Whitmore School gives me the flexibility and time to do school and work with my horses.”

“Arianna is not your typical high school student. She is 13 and exceptionally bright. After a couple of years in public school, she was homeschooled for 5 years. She and her parents felt that Whitmore School would be a good fit and give Arianna access to more adults invested in her education. Arianna is proving to be a very capable student in the online environments. And, she finds time to dance, play the hammered dulcimer and help care for the animals on her family’s farm.”

“Cameron W. is thrilled to have a part-time job at his martial arts studio AND be able to maintain his school work with solid A’s!”

The courses are enriching and challenging.”
