APEX Learning www.apexvs.com “HI, Miss Denise Carpenter, Hi, I was one of the students using the apex program wanted to thank you for choosing the Apex Learning program for credit recovery. This program really helped me understand my class a lot better and I was able to pass.” “Very happy that we now have a system in place where all Providence schools are consistent with awarding credits rather than giving random assignments for said credit.” “I love, love, love this program. I feel confident that students are actually learning skills and concepts that they may have missed along the way. Parents have been a great support this summer.”
