ATHLETES + ARTISTS
From equestrians to performing artists, Bryn Mawr Online is for girls who thrive with a flexible schedule.
“My daughter spends a good deal of time outside of the classroom training and competing her horses. Additionally, she spends winters in Florida competing. The online aspect allows her to participate in a rigorous academic program, while also providing flexibility to spend an adequate amount of time participating in her sport.”
“As parents, in order to support our daughter’s dream of playing collegiate golf, we needed to go outside the scope of “traditional” daily school to find something that would allow her high levels of academic rigor and excellence as well as equal time to balance her golf game....BMOS has not only exceeded our expectations, but our daughter is growing and thriving in ways that surprise us daily. ”
MOTIVATED LEARNERS
“She has been allowed the autonomy to work and interact in a classroom setting, while also having individual time to practice and work independently….right now she is completing an in-person course at a research institute on the subject of bioinformatics. This would not be possible within a traditional high school format.”
FAMILIES WANTING SUPPORT
“Small size online classes allow each child to get more attention and help. One of the advantages is that the communication between students and teachers is effective and timely, the Success Coach for each girl is very helpful.”
MILITARY FAMILIES + TRAVELERS

Bryn Mawr Online High School provides our family with the flexibility to make frequent moves while keeping continuity with teachers and peers. Bryn Mawr has a great academic reputation and we were very excited to find a program that would support her and challenge her while encouraging her to discover and pursue her interests.”
