Linda Anderson, whose son Eric took three AP courses, has this to say:
"With his AP scores from Huge Experiences, and the scores from his previous AP classes, our son will enter Virginia Tech with 21 credits. Clearly, I think his scores demonstrate that Huge can successfully combine a high level of paddling instruction with a demanding academic course load. As parents, we appreciated the personalization of his curriculum, and the dedication of your staff in ensuring that all of the needed material was taught. The quarterly reports, and emails, also helped us gauge his progress, and provide encouragement and advice when needed. Our son's AP scores provide some solid proof that your holistic approach to education gives equal weight to academic training."
