Can’t say enough good things about the staff and our experience at Absolute Value. Tutoring has been low-friction and the kids always come out smiling. We’re already seeing measurable results in school and have come up a letter grade in math! The summer camps have been a great way to get exposure to new subjects or go in-depth on an existing interest. We loved the spy camp and of course had fun in Fortnite camp. Dungeons and Dragons has been a highlight both during summer camp and as a class during the school year. Really love the opportunity to be creative and collaborative while having fun with friends.

My 6th grader has been going to private math tutoring here for several months now and we are so glad we found Absolute value. She is gaining confidence in math and she genuinely enjoys going to tutoring. We would highly recommend!

Absolute Value Academy stands out for its unique blend of small class sizes and the innovative Mind Quest program. The Dungeon and Dragons game is a fantastic addition and rounds out the plethora of activities the Academy offers. More importantly, if you want a new class, all you have to do is ask! The staff is open and encourages feedback.

What a phenomenal resource to have so close to home! AVA has been a constant source of educational support, creativity, technology guidance (not to mention the priceless gift of parental sanity!) for our family for many years. The support from extremely knowledgeable teachers that truly care and are invested in seeing your child succeed have given our children not only knowledge, but confidence. The amount of creativity put into teaching everything from science, music, chess, math, reading (and that book report you were tired of asking your kid to finish twenty times) is amazing and has your child learning things in ways you never thought possible. The AVA Summer Camps are THE BEST around, with amazingly creative content! (A range of: medieval knights, self defense, make your own language, robots, crime scenes, awesome art, and extracting DNA from a strawberry 🍓!) The owners of AVA are wonderful people; they make scheduling a breeze and are always flexible. Save yourself (and your children) the heartache of trying to be their teacher at home, and let the experts give you your sanity back! AVA has improved the quality of our life, and we cannot recommend them highly enough!
