At Primavera, we have some of the best, most talented, hard working students there are! That’s why we’ve decided to shine the light on a few of our amazing students.
Each month, our teachers nominate a student they feel has gone above and beyond, and we get the opportunity to get to know them and shine the light on them a bit in this blog!
Check out their stories below:

Question: Why did you choose Primavera?
We chose Primavera because we liked that it has a structured curriculum while allowing our kids to work at their own pace through it. The teachers and counselors are available to help and provide resources and ideas for the benefit of our kids and that is very important to us. Communication with the teachers is fast and easy and the response time is really great. They also have tech teams ready to assist with any technical issues that may come and they fix things in a fast and efficient manner. It’s really nice if they get to know me but I’m really quiet.
Question: What would you like your classmates to know about you?
I’m nice and really quiet.
Question: What makes you a successful student?
Either do something that makes me understand the lesson or ask for some help.
Question: What advice would you give other students to be successful?
Keep up good work and try hard!!
Question: What do you want your teachers to know?
That I can be at least a bit mad or mean sometimes but if they really get to know me, I’m not so bad!!
High School Student of the Month: Owen Williams
Owen is an 11th-grade student who was nominated for Student of the Month by Barbara Fischer.
“Owen works super hard, has an amazing grade in my class and never misses an assignment! I see his name for discussions and he always does an amazing job!”
Let’s get to know Owen!
Question: Why did you choose Primavera?
I appreciate the flexibility that Primavera provides. It is online and self paced which means I can take ownership of my own education. This has provided opportunities for me to travel with my family and to do some construction work while still keeping up with my schoolwork.
Question: What would you like your classmates to know about you?
My friends and family call me Goose. I enjoy spending time with my four brothers playing video games and pickle ball.
Question: What makes you a successful student?
I just keep trying to do my best. I feel like it’s important to put in the effort.
Question: What advice would you give other students to be successful?
It is important to try to stay ahead of the work because when you get behind it is hard to catch up. Don’t procrastinate and never give up.
Question: What do you want your teachers to know?
I always try my best. I really want to do things right and do well. It is sometimes hard or frustrating to keep track of everything because of my dyslexia, but I am getting better at organizing my day and my thoughts. I really appreciate your patience with me. Online school felt really hard and overwhelming at first, but all my teachers have been good to give me feedback on how to improve. I also appreciate that all of the assignments and expectations are really clear. Plus, I know that if I have any questions, my teachers are always so quick to respond. Thank you for helping me feel successful.
