Reflections On Our First Year With Ignite Learning Academy
This weekend, the four of us (sans Reagan) will be flying back to our second home in the Philippines. Before we head to the airport, Brooklyn and Colt will be finishing the lessons for their first year at Ignite Learning Academy. Not because the school year ends in April, but because the’ve been working ahead so that another month of overseas studies can be avoided. Thus is the flexibility we enjoy with this online private school.
