“My daughter has taken two Blyth online courses. Lessons have real substance and quality, much better than the public school experience. Assignments are creative and engaging. Instructors are very accessible and supportive. We plan to do another online course this fall.”
“This course was exactly what my daughter needed. The regular school board’s physics course was not built for online learning, but it was clear from the materials and pace that the Blyth course was built specifically for the online platform,”
“Overall it was good, my son a little difficulty at the beginning trying to figure it out. With that said we are staying with Blyth for another year.
Thanks”
“Not recommended. No value. No direction. Difficult to reach teachers. Better off taking courses through TVO ILC for $40/course and using money for tutors.”
“I found the teachers and administrators very accessible and extremely helpful. However, I found the substance of the courses I took to be lacking and felt I had to teach myself a significant portion of the content. Most of the time it worked out well but this made a course like math very difficult. I also found the amount of work to be greater than what I have had to do at in person schools.”
“My daughter truly enjoyed doing two classes on-line through Blyth during this pandemic. Easy process, good follow through, graduated with high marks.”
“Pretty much satisfied by the way courses are presented/ explained to my daughter Sareena Shaukat Awan. The only improvement or change I am looking for is fee payment system which at times gets too complicated and have to try different ways/ links to be able to add funds for the courses.”
“The breadth and structure of the courses available on Blyth Academy Online is very good, and the instructors are very responsive. In my opinion, what is missing to get a 5/5 rating is more proactive periodic teacher check-ins, and a more automated way for students to know when they are falling behind the pace they need to maintain to hit their completion timeline. If your child is highly self-motivated and organized then I think it's a great platform, but for those that have kids who need more guidance, and communication about deadlines, a lot of parental oversight is required.”
“Our daughter decided to take an online course with Blyth to accelerate her learning during the pandemic. The experience was positive in all aspects was positive. I would not hesitate to recommend Blyth Academy to students who are looking to take additional courses.”
“Once Blyth got up and running with online learning it was a great experience. The teacher’s were very engaged and students (my student) felt at ease in asking any question needed to understand the course content. A lot of that is because of the teachers, but the other part is because of the class sizes that make students feel comfortable in actually engaging.”
“My daughter’s high school graduation (with honours!) success is largely due to the accessibility and wide variety of Blyth Academy high school credit courses online. She would not have made it through high school without this school option!”
