Telesis has been in operation for twenty years.
Small class sizes and Block Hours help students better focus with teachers while learning new concepts. The High School teachers are excellent. Great teaching combined with the backing of the school's national accreditation gave my family the assurance that we were looking for when considering schools.

cody smith: Horrible. Bad budget, liars, teachers not knowing how to teach, "security officer" being biased and incredibly mean to students undeserving of it, bad staff, and doesn't care if students learn or not. Going out of business soon also.
