After moving from the Bay Area, he found that he was struggling to acclimate to life in a new town. His grades were slipping, he felt depressed, and he didn\u2019t have time to attend auditions or play practice due to the time-consuming demands of his new public school. After speaking to his mother about his concerns they began researching alternative education options and found Visions. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Visions allowed me to create my own schedule and feel a lot more at ease.
