Learning here feels like water—gentle yet powerful, always moving forward. The lessons flow with ease, washing away confusion and leaving behind clarity. Each session is like a calm river current, steady and reassuring, guiding me toward growth without force. In this space, knowledge doesn’t rush—it ripples, soaks in, and stays.

Macallan Yu - Higher Learning is not a bad place to learn specific things that you need help on. The higher level classes (based on grade levels) help you improve your skills, it refreshes your brain and it allows you to go deeper in thought. For example, in Mr. Roda's, class (SHSAT going to 8th grade), the skills he teaches helps students to sharpen ELA and Math skills in many areas. It can be applied on multiple types of tests, and especially, on school curriculums. However, the thing about Higher Learning is that the spacing of all the classrooms and the placement of them is pretty good, it seems a bit cramped together. When the classes end, everyone rushes through the hallway to leave through the stairs or the elevator. Personally, I used to take the elevator but I use the stairs, and as I take the stairs, it looks a bit weirder than the typical stairs. Also, many people rush down the stairs increasing the risk of someone tripping and falling. Other than that, I think Higher Learning is A GREAT PLACE TO LEARN NEW CONCEPTS!!!
