    Do not work with Tower Bridge International Group!!! We hosted many international students for many…read moreyears with other hosting providers and this is by far the worst company to sign an agreement with. They charge their students families nearly (4-5X) times the cost they pay a host family. Their agreement is full proof to protect themselves and all costs and work is basically appointed to the host families. Their pay ti the host family is minimal compared to the responsibilities the host family incurs and more importantly, they do not support the host families. Also, the way they file their tax returns will not allow the host families to deduct any expenses on their own tax returns. So, depending on your total household income filed, you need to deduct approx.. an extra 30-35% from the current monthly hosting fee . (So, if they are paying you $1500 per month, you're really only getting like $975/per month for 2 meals a day, Monday thru Friday and 3 meals on weekends, plus ride to school and back and airport pickups and drop offs and nonpayment when student goes home for the holidays but yet you must keep and store their belongingsin their rooms). And Considering the pandemic for the past year and having the host students stay home everyday, we incured so much more food costs and utility expenses which Tower Bridge International Group failed to compensate the host families for and since we signed their practically full proof contract agreement. ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT THEY SERIOUSLY SCREWED US! There is absolutely no flexibility with this company nor would they feel any obligation to make things right.... Pls. Feel free to email us (reika_1@yahoo.com) if you have any questions or concerns before signing their agreement and working with this company. students and host families are welcomed to contact us anytime! Let me repeat, be careful working with Tower Bridge International Group..... You have been warned!!!

    I've been hosting international students with different schools and different companies for 8…read moreyears. I just spent 3 months hosting for Tower Bridge, and it was the worst hosting experience I've ever had. There is absolutely zero support on house rules, communicating with the students, and getting things done. You get, on average, a dozen messages per day minimum that they expect responses to. They expect the world from you, and provide nothing in return. Don't make this mistake.

    Method Schools have been an excellent choice for my high schoolers for summer school electives. The…read moreflexibility of the program allows students to learn at their own pace, which has been a major benefit for our family. The homeroom teachers and the entire teaching staff are fantastic. They communicate clearly, are very responsive, and genuinely want students to succeed. One thing to note is that finals do require students to turn on their webcams for proctoring, but the teachers are very understanding and accommodating throughout the process. Overall, I highly recommend Method Schools for families looking for a supportive, flexible, and student-centered learning experience. Update: Be sure your child takes screenshots of all grades and stays logged into the SmartFox app while using Edmentum as it tracks all activity. My son's midterm later showed as incomplete, even though he had proof and login records. The principal claimed his A grade was a glitch, but we confirmed with the course teacher it was accurate. Only the course and homeroom teachers were able to fix it. Document everything! It really matters.

    Our family has been part of Method Schools since 2018. So much has changed, mostly positive, some…read morenegative. Method excels in offering extracurriculars, sports, events, AP, honors and advanced courses. They have Dehesa Method Sports Academy which is tailored towards athletes in San Diego county and they recently started The Academy at Method which is a dual enrollment program designed to offer students an early start in advancing their education by taking college courses while in high school. Method has a lot of potential to be a Blue Ribbon school or even a California Distinguished School. It is a K-12 charter school registered in the Acton-Agua Dulce Unified with the California Department of Education. The school primarily offers virtual instruction. Overall my daughter has mixed feelings about her education at Method. As a parent, I appreciate the school's variety of course offerings. I went to a very good high school in OC and I wanted the same for my daughter. If you're considering Method for your child, Method has a yearbook, offers prom, has several yearly events for K-8 and the 9-12 events are mainly led by the high school ASB. As of this review, to my knowledge, Method offers National Honor Society, Hope Squad, Yearbook, and several others high school led clubs. There are some problems that I hope Method improves on. Firstly, lack of transparency. Since Method is primarily online, there should be no question for students or parents on who is leading the school. At an in-person school, most students and parents know who the principal or vice principal is. Most of our time at Method, we didn't know who the principal was. They sometimes call that person the Head of Schools, but you don't know if it's for K-12 or 9-12. Either way, it adds to confusion and distracts from learning. Unfortunately, Method is extremely biased and has double standards. I've experienced this many times, so it's not an isolated issue. Method's administration and teachers don't always respond to an email. Conflict is a part of life and not a fun part; however, when issues need to be addressed, communication is important. Method gets an F in this area. They do not know how to deal with conflict, whether it is with students or parents. Regarding the double standards, the teachers and staff send out emails stating that their meetings are 'mandatory', but it is not fairly applied to all students. Whenever we're told a meeting is mandatory, it's pretty harsh language, 'required' would be more appropriate but nonetheless we attend the meeting. Other students that don't attend are still allowed to participate in the event even if they didn't attend the 'mandatory' meeting which isn't fair. That means the meeting wasn't mandatory after all. My daughter took a college class her junior year but was not given a weighted grade for that class.College classes are more challenging than highschool classes. Regarding AP testing. As of this review, Method does not offer in-person proctoring for their offered AP tests. We are so glad they offer AP tests. It really benefits students so I strongly advocate for it. Unfortunately, Method doesn't really understand how the AP process works. We were told the school would pay the AP testing fee, and we were ecstatic. However, that excitement was short-lived as we realized Method was only supposed to provide us with the College Board AP code, if they would be administering the test. This created a lot of confusion. Since they don't administer the test we had to find a local school with a seat available, and pay $90+ out of pocket for the test, removing the AP code Method gave us. I wish Method had an honor roll system. My daughter worked very hard in high school and achieved 4.0 a couple of semesters and over 3.5 in several other semesters, but didn't receive acknowledgment. She also achieved high scores on the CAASPP test in Science, Math, and English but received no acknowledgment. I've noticed the staff seems intent on doing everything alone without incorporating parents or students. I'm sure they're overwhelmed by doing that. They often speak to parents as if we don't know or understand anything, and they treat us all like we're children. We have valuable contributions. It's frustrating not being heard. I wish I could add more, but this unabridged version is already quite long. I will say the staff and administration is nice and well meaning but they way they do things is extremely frustrating and sometimes backwards. Even the transcript request method is frustrating. They used to include the entire K-12 transcript, and it was like pulling teeth just requesting high school years for the transcript. It shouldn't be like this, especially when it should be expected that colleges only want to see 9-12 grades, not elementary or middle school grades. There's no perfect school. I'm just sharing some of what we've experienced. The flexibility is what kept us there for so long.

    Diana Horner has been an incredible tutor for our sons. Both of our boys are minimally verbal, so…read morefinding someone who understands how to build functional language and reading skills in a meaningful, structured way was extremely important to us. Diana has exceeded every expectation. She uses the UFLI program and we have seen real progress in both boys' reading skills. What stands out most is her ability to break things down in a way that is accessible and effective for learners who need explicit, systematic instruction. She meets them exactly where they are, while still holding high expectations for their growth and progress on their goals. Just as important, our boys absolutely love working with her. Diana brings such a warm, cheerful energy to every session, and her positive, encouraging style keeps them engaged and motivated. Her sessions are structured and purposeful, but also fun, which is not easy to balance, but she does it seamlessly. , We are so grateful to have found her. Diana is not only highly skilled but also deeply kind and invested in her students' growth. She has made a meaningful difference for our boys.

    I couldn't say enough kind words about Diana! She is so good with my 3 year old…read more I wanted to make sure my kid was progressing like he should but also wasnt ready for him to be in "traditional" schooling. I went in search for an at home tutor and it was so hard finding someone with experience with his age group but also experience being a real teacher, and on top of that someone reliable. Diana is AMAZING, and worth every penny. Every week she comes with a new/different activity sometimes she has him dancing to songs about letters or shapes another time they are doing word puzzles. My 3 year old is literally on the road to reading because of her. Very happy she is apart of my kids development, because with her he is learning so much!
