Workforce Advantage Academy Reviews

Rated
by a  Student  
Workforce Advantage Academy is a great school. Yeah its small and there arent alot of teachers...so what? Some students need to be in a smaller enviornment. Smaller classes, more attention. The teachers here want nothing but the best for us. They help us get jobs, teach us life skills, (filling out a W-2 form, resume,how to act in a  job interview etc.) before I came  to Workforce, I attended Colonial High School, there you don't get nearly as much attention as you would get at Workforce. If your child loves to meet new people, or your child is lost and just can't seem to find his/her place, or if they need a job,then I suggest Workforce Advantage Academy. I'm going to be honest, it took me some time to get used to (like the 1st week) but after that I was pumped....I was ready. Not to mention I have a job at the Corporate office at ABC Fine Wines and Spirits. Don't be lazy, try the school out, they have orientatons, and Open Houses, if you don't like it, dont send your child, don't mess it up for them. So many of my piers say that the only reason they are there is because their parent made them....Only send your child if they want to be there and then let them see if they wanna stay. I cant speak for them, but I can tell you from experience, that I am grateful for this school.
God Bless
