I have two boys, ages 12 and 14. Today, they are both doing very well in school, but it was not always that way. My oldest son has dyslexia and my youngest has epilepsy, Tourette’s and a severe food allergy, and for years they both struggled in the traditional school setting.

But thankfully, we were fortunate enough to have the choice to enroll our sons in one of Michigan’s online charter public schools. It took us time to come to this decision, but it was far and away the best decision we could have ever made for our boys.

Both of my sons are now thriving, and it’s because we were afforded the opportunity to seek out both a school and a setting that best meets their specific needs.
