Laurel Springs is a premier online school that honors each child’s individual learning style and educational needs.
Laurel Springs School is an accredited private online school, offering challenging programs for grades K–12. With college prep academics, including Advanced Placement (AP), Honors, and Gifted and Talented programs, Laurel Springs has an outstanding record of placing its graduates into the selective colleges and universities of their choice in the U.S. and throughout the world.
The Laurel Springs difference is in the relationships students have with teachers, counselors, admissions coordinators, and peers. Our students receive individually graded assignments, attention to their unique learning styles, expert college counseling services, and access to real-time school events and clubs. Laurel Springs combines all the benefits of a traditional private school with the flexibility of self-paced distance learning.
Our school is designed for the college prep student who wishes to grow and excel academically and personally, while maintaining a flexible and self-paced schedule. Our personalized approach is mastery-based and asynchronous, meaning that students have the opportunity to move faster or slower through the material, depending on their individual skills and knowledge. This approach allows students the ability to adapt their schedules to accommodate their other interests.
