Additionally, some customers noted concerns about teacher turnover and the credentials of educators not meeting promised standards, as well as issues with administrative processes leading to misunderstandings.

Game changer!!!

Our daughter went from dragging herself into school each morning, an anxious, stress ball who often needed early pickups to walking through the doors with growing confidence and a smile. The change has been incredible to watch, and it's reflected in both her attitude and her grades. The teachers are attentive, kind and truly invested in their students' success. Julie at the front desk deserves a special mention. She is compassionate, patient and an absolute pleasure to work with. We are so grateful to have found a school that sees and supports the whole child.

When a school can change a student's life

My son was in a difficult place at his junior year of high school in Seattle. The school cared, but they just did not have the resources to give him the time and attention he needed to find himself and succeed. After careful thought, we researched and found Fusion Academy in Seattle and after meeting with the head of school, James Cardo, we were impressed enough to give them and their unique approach a try. Everything about the experience was amazing. The teachers helped him to gain confidence and realize his true potential. Three years later, he is doing wonderfully and succeeding in college and in life and Fusion was critical to his turnaround. Its student to teacher approach is expensive, but the value of what it brought to him is priceless. The best decision we could have made.

I met with Jonathan Kiesler

I met with Jonathan Kiesler, and I have to say he is one of the most enthusiastic, energized, and genuine principals I’ve ever met. I truly love the structure of the school, and I believe it will be a great fit for my daughter, who hasn’t felt like she fits in at a traditional school in terms of academic structure.

I’m very encouraged and excited about the possibilities ahead.

Life-Changing School!

My son started at Fusion Buckhead for his 8th grade year. It's been life-changing! His confidence is through the roof, he's engaged in his learning, the curriculum is customized to his interests, and he's carrying straight A's. We came from a public middle school where he got lost and we feel like he has adults who believe in him at Fusion. Highly Recommend!

Fusion Fairfield- The Safe Space We Needed

Fusion Fairfield has been an incredible source of healing and growth for our family—not only academically, but emotionally as well. They truly understand that childhood and education are not one-size-fits-all, and they’ve filled so many of the gaps our children experienced in traditional schools.

The staff is not only highly professional, but also remarkably approachable, compassionate, and inspiring. They make every student feel seen, heard, and valued, consistently bringing out the best in each child.

The entire team—administrators and teachers alike—at the Fairfield location has continually impressed me with their warmth, genuine connection with students, thoughtful feedback, and constant encouragement. Their humor, kindness, and authenticity shine through in every interaction. We are so grateful for the positive impact Fusion Fairfield has had on our children’s lives.

We were very disappointed

We were very disappointed. We have been considering Fusion for our son who has ADHD and struggles in public school. Decided to do a summer course to "test the waters". Disorganized, the tutor seemed a bit flaky, and the front desk person, although certainly vigilant about watching the door, was suspicious or my husband and son and very unwelcoming when they showed up to the first day, not the person who should be greeting kids or adults. Very disheartening experience. Not sure if the summer program is a good example of the main year, but it soured us and we wouldn't go back.

Summer of 2025

Summer of 2025, Fusion school has no teachers for manga art. But they don't tell you when signing up. Overpriced is another issue.

Wonderful School

The teachers are so enthusiastic. They consider the student's interest in the learning plans, and the students excel. It is a wonderful school with caring people.

I was totally dreading Back to School Night. In the past 10 years, every meeting that we’ve had with teachers/schools has been about how problematic our son is – I was not looking forward to another session like that. After meeting his 6 teachers tonight – I am positively overwhelmed. Every single one of them had great comments about him. I started writing them down – a great critical thinker, a great writer, asks great questions, respectful, and on and on. We were sooooo proud to hear all that. We had great conversations with them and every single teacher wanted more information from us to help our son do even better – they all have his best interest at heart.

I was so excited that we went straight home and I read our son all of the teachers' comments. I don’t think he’s really EVER gotten positive feedback about school from anyone. We told him how proud we are of him and I could tell he was proud too. He kept my notes from the meeting to read over again.

We really have found the right place for our son. Fusion really understands him and wants the best for him. I can’t tell you how grateful we are to have found this school. The director Sara Yakhi is an angel!

A school for children on the spectrum.

The people were nice and friendly. The school turned my nephew around. He was failing High School because he is autistic and hyper active. And the high school could not understand him. So he fell behind. But this school worked with him. He is now getting A’s and B’s in AP classes. His confidence has improved and his Dreams of college are now in sight. As a bonus the school offers social events like Magic the gathering which is helping him interact with other students . As many parents know when you have a child on the spectrum social skills are hard so this school is working with my nephew to slowly learn these skills. And now he looks forward to going to school every day.

Summer Math Tutoring Experience

My son did tutoring over the summer and seemed to be a bit more confident when the school year started.

Scheduling for tutoring was a little confusing since we had schedule changes that we were not aware of.

Marianne was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, from start to finish. She worked very hard to accommodate our crazy schedule this summer in a way that ensured our son would be able to get the most out of the class and be proficient in his learning. Mr.Lopez also did a fantastic job of teaching our son online, and helping him truly understand the content, not always an easy task when doing online learning. Their flexibility with scheduling allowed our son to successfully take Spanish 4, while managing the travel demands and ever-changing schedule due to a sports recruiting summer.

The team in Hingham are kind and very competent. We needed to support my middle schooler after a particularly rough time. She needed tutoring and guidance to help her finish her course work. The school was very flexible and helped her to close the chapter on a difficult year. Fusion was able to offer what other schools could not and as a result, my daughter was able to move forward.

Trial Lessons Fell Short of Expectations

I signed up for a trial to determine if this would be the right place for my daughter and whether the tutor would be a good fit. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing from the start. On the first day, the receptionist was very unfriendly. When I gave my daughter’s name, her only response—loud enough for everyone to hear—was, “Oh, you’re here for the trial,” with no greeting or welcome. It made the experience feel dismissive, as though purchasing a trial package was something to be ashamed of.

The second disappointment came during the lessons themselves. Out of the five trial sessions, the first three hours were spent solely on an assessment test, which I was told would be conducted separately. That left only two sessions for actual tutoring. While my daughter did enjoy the geometry portion that was finally covered, I felt the time was not used effectively.

Reply from Fusion Academy

We’re sorry you didn’t have a great Fusion experience. Doing a trial 5-pack of tutoring is definitely not something to be ashamed of – we often encourage it to try Fusion to see if it will be a good fit.

As part of any tutoring at Fusion, we like to give initial assessments and actively chat through those with the student to better understand what areas we should work on together. That is likely what was done for those initial sessions.

If you would like to have your daughter come back for additional support, we would be glad to offer you three complimentary hour-long sessions with the teacher your student worked with. Please contact our campus if that is something you would like to do.
