Hallmark Charter School
4
Every school has it's pros and cons. The flexibility in learning allows my son to learn in an environment best suited to his needs. He's held accountable for learning and turning in work so he isn't missing out on any educational standards. The down side to Hallmark is that for more difficult subjects like Spanish or Chemistry, students need more teacher instruction time than is offered. Therefore students struggle a bit more in these areas. Overall, I'd recommend Hallmark to anyone looking for an alternative to traditional school or who is already homeschooling and needs the support and accountability Hallmark offers. And may I add that the staff and teachers at Hallmark are friendly, supportive and interested in teaching each child to their full potential.
