"We have loved working with Canyon Grove Academy this past year. My favorite part is the resource library for the distance ed homeschooling program, where they have a variety of awesome curricula to choose from, tailoring it for each child’s needs and learning styles. Plus extra curricular materials that can be checked out for as long as needed. The Educational Specialists assigned to each family in the program are so helpful and supportive! And we have enjoyed the Epic Day and Discovery Day programs as well! This is a phenomenal school to support homeschoolers!"

"This is our son’s first year and it has been so incredible for him. He really struggled with the large class sizes and lack of attention at the local public school. At Canyon Grove he is able to do much more hands-on learning and it suits him so much better. They do frequent field trips and spend time at the space center which he loves. I am so grateful for the thoughtful school leadership that saw the potential in our son and had patience with him as he matured into the excellent student he is today."

"This past year has been a great experience. The distance program has provided the perfect balance for our family. My children have learned some amazing and interesting things with their teachers at school, while still allowing me to guide their education and be with them a good portion of the week. The program has also planned many great field trips that I have brought all 6 of my children to for a reasonable price and very little planning on my part. Thank you, distance program!"

"A HUGE shout out to this inspired Distance Education program! This inspired program has made it possible for us to take the huge leap of faith to Distance Education this year! We are extremely grateful for all the support and amazing resources Kim Goates and her incredible team provide! Kim knows parents know best what their children need to learn, and she provides the support and resources we need to succeed! They also facilitate fabulous field trips! We are truly grateful for this inspired program! It is fluid and shifts based on the needs of our children and the families involved. We are immensely blessed and so grateful to be a part of this amazing program! his program is exactly what I had been looking for in my children’s schooling experience. I love the balance it gives me and my family as we get to learn so much together both at home and on the wonderful family field trips set up through the Distance Program. This program also allows me to provide one on one time so my kids can learn at their own speed and discover things that interest them. I love the small weekly classrooms with hands-on learning. It is wonderful to be able to teach using the abundance of resources and know my kids are learning everything they need to learn."

"The Distance Program has been a great experience for our family. I have been slowly transitioning to doing Distance Education with my kids full time. It was nice to have 3 days with them at home and two days with them in class. I loved the ability to go to the resource library and change curriculum when it wasn’t working for us and all the extras that are there too. We moved with 2 months left in the school year. We loved this program so much that we chose to drive all the way from Mount Pleasant to finish off the school year. My boys also loved going to the space center once a month."

"We’ve had such a wonderful experience with the Canyon Grove distance education program. We’ve had access to so many great resources-curriculum, online subscriptions, fun school programs and activities. The most important thing to me, however, is that we’ve been able to maintain a lot of independence and I’ve felt like the educational decisions I’ve made for my children have been respected. For example, my kids have been late readers and I’m ok with that. The school offered reading assistance but was respectful and understanding when I declined. My kids have loved discovery days. It’s well organized and always fun!"

"…I’ve loved Canyon Groves curriculum library! They have tons of different curriculum options, as well as other resources! We currently have a rock tumbler that we’ve borrowed, as well as a couple Lego Knex building sets. I’m looking forward to the dissection kits they have available when my kids are a bit older. As for curriculum, at times they haven’t carried, or possibly even heard of, what I’m looking for. They’ve been very willing to look into what I’ve been interested in and see if they can make it work. So far, they’ve been able to help me out. They can’t do any religious based curriculum, as this is a government funded school, but that’s been fine. I love that my tax dollars are actually working for my kids… I feel that their system has become more and more efficient, and that they sincerely appreciate feedback. On top of the optional one day of school per week, they also have what’s called Discovery Day. For three or four weeks, one afternoon per week, you can sign your kids up to participate in a class. It could be bowling, painting, leather working, acting, coding, ice skating, kayaking, etc. They’ve done tons of different stuff…Canyon Grove has been great. I’ve loved the support I’ve gotten from them, and that I’m still being given the freedom to choose what I want and what works for my family."

"This is my second year homeschooling and 1st year at Canyon Grove Academy! We LOVE CGA!!! It offers the perfect program for our needs offering a full day of education at a local campus and a day of discovery- where my daughter can learn from other teachers and interact with her peers sometimes while rock climbing, cooking, snow shoeing, kayaking or crafting!! My daughter thrives with a one on one education at home the rest of the week (music, swim, theater we supplement) where all the curriculum we choose has been provided by CGA. They offer education specialists to work with you throughout the year. They also offer several online programs which we choose to supplement with. My daughter is happy, educated and socialized. She has made great friends this year. CGA is a school/program I plan to stick with and I’m grateful we found them. Thank you CGA!"

"I absolutely LOVE Canyon Grove! The distance education program is wonderful. I’ve homeschooled for years and this is the best of both worlds. The kids go for one day a week and do the rest from home. They can participate in a school play and many other fun activities. You get support and you have tons of choices for curriculum. The resource library is heavenly, filled with curriculum, science activities, foreign language programs, art activities, anything you could want to make school at home fun and engaging.The staff is amazing, the director Kim really cares about the families. I wish that there had been a school like this when my oldest was younger. I felt like I struck the gold mine when I found Canyon Grove 2 years ago and the school just keeps getting better and better each year!"
