Meet Our Global Community of Learners

Aurelia T.

An ambitious and driven equestrian athlete, Aurelia wanted to begin competing at the international level, which would require significant travel. She knew she would have to look at joining an online school, but did not want to compromise on the quality of her education or the feeling of connection she had at her previous school. Joining Prestans as a freshman, she excelled academically and was able to compete in shows across the country in hunter, jumper, and equitation. Now at Northeastern, Prestans set Aurelia up for success both in and out of school.

Kara H.

At three years old, Kara began her journey as a dancer, soon falling in love with ballet. As her commitment to this calling grew, she struggled to find balance with her education. Leaving her boarding school, Kara joined Prestans, which provided her with flexibility, a dynamic online academic program, and a connection with other ballerinas.

Paige M.

Paige joined Prestans through our Credit Continuation program, which affords students the opportunity to continue their education while taking time away from their in-person school. While she initially had planned to return to that school, she ultimately decided to continue with Prestans as a full-time student through her senior year. Now a student at University of Colorado Boulder, Paige is a confident self-advocate committed to pursuing her own unique journey.

Wynn L.

Wynn is a deeply passionate rap artist. After his first song went viral, he realized that he needed to find a school that would give him the flexibility to pursue a career in music. He joined Prestans in 10th grade to find this balance, "With the help of Prestans, I can ensure that I excel in all of my studies while also taking care of my music career."
