Real Stories from Real Families

Don't just take our word for it - hear from the parents and students who have learned with Carrie firsthand.

I wanted to homeschool but the idea of doing it alone was intimidating - an online school with teacher support was the perfect option for us. Mrs. Sauber created a curriculum whose delivery, content, and expectations felt age-appropriate, which has not been our experience with every online curriculum. My son received additional support in small groups whenever he needed extra help, and she celebrated every success with him. He would absolutely join any class of Mrs. Sauber's again!

Stephanie Stewart
Parent

I really liked having Mrs. Sauber for a teacher! In the daily meetings I liked how everyone shared their highs and lows for the day, and we played puzzle games together before the lessons. In small group or one-on-one meetings she listened to us and helped us with whatever we needed. I wish I could have her for my teacher again!

Student

We worked online with Mrs. Sauber for a few years when our children were in early elementary. From an advanced student to an autistic student who hated school, Mrs. Sauber was able to push students when they needed it and support those who were struggling. She is understanding, patient, and flexible - and does an excellent job connecting with children first and supporting them beyond just academics.
