What do advanced educators and reformers think of Yorktown Education?

After discussing  the Yorktown Education system "Obviously brilliant."
-Susan Patrick, formerly Head of the US Department of Education's Technology Office, now President of the North American Council for Online Learning, one of the "Top 10 Educators of the Last Decade"

I really am amazed at the system you have developed. The options for students, parents, and teachers really are incredible. It seems that you have recognized all of the problems with the traditional school system and found a solution for everything. There has been so much criticism of public schools, but few have come up with real and effective solutions.

Your group has my genuine admiration for coming up with an outstanding alternative. I'm a big believer in the free market system and think it is high time for a reasonable-cost, highly flexible, individualized alternative to become available to those who want top-notch education.

I would be thrilled and incredibly proud to work for Yorktown..... I haven't been this excited about the future of education since I started my teaching career.

“I, too, am disappointed with the current educational system in our country, and until we met, I didn’t think there was a cure in sight.  Your system makes sense: it is simple enough to be attainable but radical enough to really make a difference” 
-Stan Richards, owner and CEO of the largest independent advertising agency in the US and a member of the board of directors of a private school. 

"Whether one is a fan of pubic or private schools, Yorktown is just the disruptive innovation needed for lasting education reform." 
-John Stanley, founder, The Legacy Group, Inc.

“Yorktown Education is developing an instructional model that will be attractive to those parents who seek successful educational outcomes for their children.  As a company who knows that a successful online school is a blending of all of the elements of the program plus strong leadership, we can see that Yorktown is on the right course.” 
-Jim Barnes, General Manager of eClassroom, the K-12 division of eCollege, the world's largest educational institution.

Yorktown intends to meld quality education with free market principles and accountability. When effectively realized, these ideas can work together to make significant improvements in American private and public education."
