Fusion Academy - Columbia Arvostelua 

My daughter is getting a good education. Best of all, she runs to go to school.

Wonderful caring teachers and Administration. My son does so well here.

Our son is on the autism spectrum. He was placed at a special education school by our public school system. Middle School was fine but High School became a nightmare. He was bullied by staff and classmates, and on top of that, was not learning. He was at this school for 8 years - his Math calculation skills on his Woodcock-Johnson went from 47th percentile in 2nd grade to the 1st percentile in 10th grade, his Academic Skills went from 61st percentile to 4th percentile in the same period of time. (His whole Woodcock-Johnson looked like this.) In tenth grade, he was working on adding 3 digit numbers (with a calculator) in math, his least favorite subject. Fusion wasn't sure they could meet his needs but we felt they could so we invested in an elective class in his favorite subject, classical music. He took this one class at Fusion for a few months and they got to know him. He blossomed there! Next, they wanted to see him in his least favorite class, math. Because of the unique 1 teacher to 1 student ratio for each class, they were able to create lesson plans just for him. His math teacher used music theory to teach math concepts and gave him classical music breaks. Guess what our son's new favorite class became! Yes, math!!! Fusion took him on full time and he has since aced Algebra and Geometry. In fact, he started working on trigonometry after only 2 years at Fusion. And bonus, homework does not come home. Class periods are interwoven with Homework Cafe time throughout the day so students work on their homework at school, with teacher support! Even through Covid, teaching continued seamlessly. Fusion was already using Zoom for days students couldn't make it to school but still wanted to attend class, so the technology learning curve moving to Zoom full time was basically naught! Also, my son isn't a morning person. At Fusion, his classes start at 11am. We could not be more thrilled with the staff and students at Fusion. Bullying is simply not tolerated. The students and staff have accepted and embraced him, quirkiness and all! He LOVES being at Fusion! While Fusion is not a Special Education school, it has delivered the most special, personalized education imaginable! Thank you Fusion!

They take such excellent care of our student as well as our family!

Their one-to-one learning approach was exactly what my child needed. The teachers are wonderful. They really get to know their students and customize the lessons to fully engage them.

This is the second Summer my daughter is taking math to get ahead and familiar with concepts she will have next year. She's had two different instructors and they've both been great!
