"After searching for several alternatives for my daughter to complete an Algebra I course during the summer 2020, I found that Gilbert Unified School District's Global Academy not only provided the most affordable option, but it was also the most rigorous option available. As a former middle school math teacher and current statistics university instructor with 20+ years of teaching experience, I was extremely impressed with the level of rigor and support offered through Global Academy. Students can go at their own pace and have instructor-level support via email, through assignment feedback and on the phone. Assessments included critical thinking assignments to ensure that students were familiar with the course concepts beyond rote memorization. There were different modalities to learn and practice skills including videos, online assessments and relevant content related to students' lived experiences. I would highly recommend this course to students and parents. Finally, the support from Gilbert Unified School District's personnel was exceptional." - Norma, GPS Global Academy Parent
"Buzz lets me deliver engaging lessons that are standards-aligned, and it makes student/teacher communication easy and on-going. Buzz allows students to control the pace of their learning and move through the course no matter their location or schedule" – Stephanie, GPS Global Academy Teacher
"Students who take my classes at Global Academy learn quickly, perform at a high level, and feel confidence in their learning process. The lessons are easy to follow and are very well-organized. The assignments flow directly from the lessons, so students know that they can look back in the notes and find the answers they need quickly and easily. Parents can monitor their child's progress and efforts in great detail, allowing for more collaboration between families and teachers. I love being a Global Academy teacher!" – Mary Beth, GPS Global Academy Teacher
