Compared to seeing friend's kids who are in public school, EDW did an amazing job keeping the students working and earning their grades. The structure remained and the grades were earned, not given.

Report
The virtual lesson process went well for our family. My son is a sophomore and he basically completed the lessons independently. He is in all honors so it was a little more stressful for him to maintain his grades and to ensure he kept up with what information will be needed for next school year.
