Wonderful School
The teachers are so enthusiastic. They consider the student's interest in the learning plans, and the students excel. It is a wonderful school with caring people.
We have had a great experience at…
We have had a great experience at Fusion. My son is doing very well in school and I love the daily communication with the teachers. The director is also amazing and always available.
A wonderful, confidence building experience
As the parent of a brand‑new Fusion Academy graduate, I can honestly say Fusion saved my son’s education and gave him a sense of direction. During his graduation speech he said that Fusion "gave me the space to figure my life out while also providing me with the education I needed.” That freedom - paired with compassionate academic support - set him on a path we couldn’t clearly see prior to Fusion, and this fall he’ll head to college with confidence and purpose. Thank you, Fusion, for giving my son both room to grow and the knowledge to thrive.
Did not really help my daughter
Did not really help my daughter. no insights were given to her. She was writing her common College app essay with Fusion. All they did is to reject the ideas that she brought until My daughter came up with an idea by herself. Fusion provided no insights on how my daughter could improve her essay, the flow of it or the topic selection, or how to write an essay that would stand out of the crowd. Fusions help basically was just to reject the topics until they accepted one. After that, my daughter rode paragraph by paragraph and presented to her and the teacher just approved my daughter’s essay. The good thing is my daughter is a good writer in general and that is why fusion didn’t provide much insight in the future. I will not hire fusion for college essay help.

I requested change of schedule way few weeks before the classes started
With many days to go, NOT in middle of the course but staff was stubborn and non cooperative. They did offer a change much later but it without any flexibility and I ended up losing 3 lessons I paid for. They should have refunded the money if because I called before they started. Instructor was super good and even ready to change time but he was constrained by procedures.

Very satisfied student and parents
Our experience with Fusion has been very positive. They are very responsive and my son loved his tutoring sessions. He was successful in testing into the more advanced math class he wanted to take at school. He wishes he could go to Fusion full-time. That's not in the cards for us financially, but we're so glad to know that Fusion is there for him as he needs it throughout middle and high school.

Perfect landing ground
Fusion was the perfect landing ground for my son. Prior to Fusion he had gone to wilderness therapy and therapeutic boarding school…Fusion gave him a semester to reestablish himself in school and the community. It gave him the tools he needed to encourage him to reach farther and believe in himself. We are grateful for the semester he was here.

Amazing teachers and staff
Amazing teachers and staff. My daughter has excelled tremendously.
Great Experience
My son has been bouncing around schools this year and Fusion has been a very positive experience for him so far. They are extremely accommodating to schedules and my son can't choose a favorite teacher as he really enjoys all of them. The one-on-one approach is so unique and necessary for him right now. He's gaining confidence while learning.

My teen loves working with a tutor
My teen loves working with a tutor! Help with her school work is actually helping her think differently about herself. I'm very thankful to all the staff at Fusion in Lake Forest.

This school has been a saving grace for…
This school has been a saving grace for my son. The flexible hours and variety of class times has been part of the key to his success. No where will you find the option for your child to have their teachers attention 100% of the time, unless you’re homeschooling. We were in the public school system with an IEP having a truancy officer coming to the house because he refused to go to school.
The director of our location isn’t the best at returning communication. But everyone else has been amazing. My only constructive criticism would be that my anxiety would be greatly reduced if an outline was better presented. Not knowing important information doesn’t exude confidence.

Very attentive to my son's specific needs, specific strengths, and work with areas he needs to improve. They effectively tailor their teaching approach to my son's specific needs. All the teachers do an excellent job of communicating and getting me updates on my son's progress.

What education everywhere SHOULD BE!
Fusion Academy is what education SHOULD be for every student -- from the wonderful campus staff, who truly bend over backwards for the student and the parent, to the teachers and the 1:1 teaching that reinvigorates "tired" material and makes it feel personal again. The teachers are amazing, the honest & raw summaries I receive from them daily shows the dedication the have to each student and their success as an individual, not as someone to "push thru the system". I still have the text from my child's first day at the Lake Forest campus, saying "I love this school!". That, alone, speaks for itself -- but his semester grades of As and A+s for all classes speaks volumes for just how well of a program (and fit) this is for him! And, yes, it IS expensive -- but I will also say it is the best investment you'll ever make in you AND your child. ❤️

Staff worked with the unique learning needs of my child. Their style promoted confidence and real world application of learning where others had failed to do in the past.

Great place if you can afford it.
My son only did tutoring here but it was great. The perfect environment for him. He loved it so much that he wanted to attend school here but unfortunately we cannot pay for this type of education. Very very expensive but worth it if you can afford it.
