Student Testimonials

I am taking classes this semester at CCD and working a lot, but I love it. I’m done with high school credit and I want to get a head start on college and am currently taking Psychology, Sociology, and Humanities. I have previously taken the following college classes while attending DOHS:

  • Geography
  • Spanish
  • ENG 090
  • ENG 121
  • Psychology
  • Criminal justice
  • Ethics

I got pretty much a full ride to DU for next year so that is exciting.

I currently live in The Netherlands and have been home schooling with Denver Online High School and really enjoy it. I find the material very fun and interesting and educational at the same time. The work is very easy to understand and plus they have pictures that explain stuff to you. The teachers are very nice and helpful as well as the director. Further I am excited about graduating in December 2012!

I love the Denver Online School. It has allowed me to continue my studies at my own pace. There are no distractions from other people, which allows me to concentrate on my work. My teachers are great and very helpful. I highly recommend this way of schooling.

Joining Denver Online High School has meant a lot to me as a student and as a performer. After realizing a typical school schedule was not conducive to my rigorous dance training, I looked for something better. Something with a flexible schedule, challenging academics, and helpful teachers. Denver Online High School met all my expectations and so much more.

When I first transferred to DPS Online I was scared and worried that I would fail my classes and not do well at all. I had no idea how to be an online student. But once I met our wonderful principal Mike Clem and our Consular Casey Burton, I knew that I would do just fine. The classes are simple and don’t really require much except effort and turning in assignments. The teachers will keep you informed on your progress, but you can also see it for yourself. The staff is amazing and is always wiling to help you out whether it is academic or personal. It is truly an amazing school.

I am able to do schoolwork whenever I have time and can work at my own pace. I have great communication with my teachers. They are always there when I have a question.

At first, I was afraid I wouldn’t do well with online learning. However, the courses were easy to follow, and the teachers really helped me figure out how to solve problems and excel in school.

I came to Denver Online because I like moving at my own pace, and being more in control of my schedule. I really enjoy being able to study and work wherever I would like and having the ability to take time off to obtain goals outside of my academic ones.

The reason I took this class online was that I had to make up the second semester of US History to meet DPS requirements after I’d dropped AP US History once I’d finished the first semester, feeling that I really just didn’t want or need to know everything that everyone did… ever (particularly because I’m much more of a math and science person than a social studies person). Though I had an A in that class, I couldn’t really tell you anything that I actually remember from the material. As for this class, however, seeing the material in a more easily digestible format, not being bogged down by insane amounts of essays and tests, and getting to work with things that at least happened in a *century* during which I was alive, ended up really getting me to learn some things. History still may not be my subject, but I really am happy to have some broader knowledge about our history that can be applied to my endeavors in the future.
