North Island Distance Education School

Excellent online education available for students who want to learn at their own pace! With the variety of courses available for learners its easy to make your selection. The staff is very knowledgeable and available for students. The teacher student ratio is excellent. My daughter graduated in 2016 from NIDES a year in advance and surely enjoyed her studies and positive friendships she developed. I highly recommend online learning for its flexibility, great support staff and the choices available for students.

The FAe program is great!!!

The teacher explains as though I completely understand the course.

They lie and mislead you can pick your courses! This school is so sad I was hoping to get my education up there to do medical school. The lady there could careless about you or if you fail she doesn't care about your education whatsoever. They'll change your courses to what they want! I'd suggest picking a more accepting school because they don't care about your future.

Math Courses are very hard. All instructional videos are ridiculous and not helpful.

Every thing here is way harder than what it should be!

This is the best thing that ever happened to my daughter. I wish we had learned about this school sooner.

Worst Administration EVER!We signed up with NIDES because the online course platform is excellent. It has a great deal going for it and it has the textbook integrated into the online course.My son has learning disabilities and the platform was ideal. At the beginning of the school year we met with the learning support team. They did not write an IEP they just copied the one that was developed the year before. They then told me I had to tell all my son's teachers about his IEP. I did this and asked for teachers to confirm only one teacher did. Come March his remaining teachers have no idea he has an IEP and have done nothing to augment his program. Now it's August and we are still trying to finish off the school. We have tutors and lots of support for him at home. All they had to do was apply his IEP. They never did. Absolutely no one at NIDES took any responsibility for their failure. It's a disgrace that schools can completely ignore students and be ignorant of their needs and then could care less about the damage they have done.

I’ve done 4 courses with NIDES now and they are incredible. I was able to continue working while doing my courses at my own pace. The courses do seem much harder as you don’t have someone in class teaching you, but all of my teachers were very helpful when I did have questions!

The only problem is that nides coarses are much harder then regular school coarses
