Global Town School’s personalized coaching approach played a huge role in shaping my son’s future. The dedicated coaching team encouraged his love for science. Today, he is studying neuroscience at The Ohio State University on the pre-med track, working toward his dream of becoming a doctor. We are incredibly grateful for the impact GTS had on his journey!

As an educator with 20 years of experience, I highly recommend Global Town. We were looking for a non-traditional, rigorous, and self-paced program, and Global Town has delivered on all fronts. My son receives personalized feedback from real instructors, and the communication and support have been outstanding.

We are incredibly thankful to Global Town Online School for offering such a unique and enriching environment that supports my son's diverse talents. Jase's growth—both as a student and as an artist—is a testament to the dedication of the school and the flexibility they offer to allow students to pursue their dreams.

My son received college admission coaching from Global Town School last year. The attention he received from his coach was unparalleled. My son wanted to get into Michigan State University in East Lansing, which is where we live. With the help of his coach at GTS, he showed his potential, passion, and eagerness to study computer science and he is now a first year SPARTAN! We could not have done it without GTS’s support.

My son was, for lack of a better phrase, forgotten about. When you’re a ‘B-average’ student in a large school, you don’t get much attention—either positively or negatively. But that changed when he enrolled at Global Town School.
A. R, Parent, Columbus, Ohio
Global Town School has been an incredible blessing for our daughter. As a high-performing, fast learner, she was eager to complete high school in just three years so she could pursue her passions — internships, volunteer work, and real-world experiences. Thanks to GTS’s flexible and student-centered model, she’s on track to graduate in just two and a half years.
