CHSS's many departments and interdisciplinary programs are all finally in one place rather than being spread across campus. Inside you'll find active learning classrooms on the first two floors, among many other classrooms which are spacious and have enough room for 24 to 120 students, all rooms equipped for video collaboration to maintain continuity with hybrid learning. Plenty of study spaces as well as student service/resources available. Very impressive and well kept, as it should be, considering Horizon Hall was only built a few years ago.

And honestly, I thought it would be an argument every week going there, but no, he liked it right off the bat, to my surprise and his. The actual physical space is clean, bright and comfortable. The staff is patient - very, very patient and knowledgeable as well. They have the kids working pretty hard but they give them reasonable breaks so they can concentrate for the time they are working. The have 1 tutor working with 3 to 4 kids at a similar level so they get enough time and attention but it's not a one on one focus, which can feel like "pressure" in some ways. Some days, depending on what time we were there, it was 1 tutor with 2 children. Most often, it was 1 to 3. Tutoring is expensive so we all want measurable results and so for us, having the extensive assessment testing before and all along the way as we went along, was really helpful. Monthly progress meetings with the parents showing measurable results lets you know where your child is improving and how fast (or slow in some areas). It's just reassuring the have that measurement. They are also very, very willing to coordinate and communicate with your child's teacher or school, but I found the schools very resistant to that and I was a bit mystified. Seems like its a partnership made in heaven, but our school system was not very cooperative on that front. We had a positive experience and saw some significant improvements during the school year.

I had taken French in school and decided to brush up on my French, something over the years I have…read morealways wanted to do. I joined the in-person French classes offered by the French Academy approximately 3 months ago. The classes are taught by native French speakers, are offered weekly for 1.5 hours and there are a small number of students per class. This is superb as it allows for more individual attention - which focuses on our reading out loud, speaking and pronunciation, as well as grammar when needed. The subjects we have covered and discussed have been very current and I love that we learn a lot in regard to present day French culture and living. Its a fun way to learn and I look forward to my weekly classes. Absolutely recommend!

Class size is limited to 6 people, which is really unique and invaluable - we all get to speak and participate, and get individual attention, at an affordable price. My teacher for both classes was Emmanual, who was terrific. Very thorough and helpful, and very encouraging. The syllabus is focused on using language needed for common daily tasks, while learning grammar along the way. Of course, it's helpful to also use other resources for self-study (eg playing YouTube videos at slow speed, buying a french beginner book etc) for more practice and learning to augment the class work. I intend to take more classes, after taking a couple of months off. The online classes are also very important. I do not want the overhead of driving somewhere, so it's great they provide the option of the online classes. I highly recommend French Academy - the online small class is just what I needed to take the plunge to learn a new language.
