Time4Learning Review by Darryl
I'm nit happy with it. We liked acelous however it is spelled, Better! What bothers me most however is that I paid a 6 month subscription, but am also being charged a monthly on top of it! If I pay for 6 months, I expect to not pay until that 6 month..

Abeka Academy Review by Jenee Rose
Abeka has good intentions, but many flaws, which is why it didn’t work for us.

Our daughter switched from a brick and mortar school to LSS in the tenth grade due to medical reasons. Due to the medical, even online was difficult at the time. LSS was very supportive and flexible with her.
We looked at many online schools and ..
Time4Learning Review by Cindy
I had time for learning for two of my kids. One liked it one didn't and it can be nice for learning as they are younger it's kind of funny and engaging that way. But it's hard for the parent to navigate through to see how your kid is doing it's not t..
My daughter was suppose to start a math class last week. I've spoken to several people (10+) concerning the issue. First, they blame me for the issue despite one of their staff verifying my computer and network are set up correctly. After getting a t..

I used BJU distance learning for math from 6-8 grade and loved it. My daughter took Algebra 1 at a hybrid school and was more than well prepared, acing the course. We are now back to Algebra 2 distance learning with BJU and I am highly diappointed..
Abeka Academy Review by Marie Condra
I am a home school graduate of Abeka. I used it from 4th-12th grade. It prepared me for College. In God’s providence I got three degrees from Bob Jones University (a bachelors and 2 masters).
It was great for my mother who was juggling homescho..
Time4Learning Review by Jeff
Regarding the product, T4L is far from user friendly. Creating lesson plans is completely inflexible as it automatically assigns lessons and you cannot move them around. The volume regulation on videos is terrible whereby one video will require full ..

Worst school ever. Teacher loved my account and tikd me that I need to submit a test or else I will get an FN. This was the LAST assignment for the school year so it's not like I was behind. Since I was locked out me and my mom called the school and ..
Abeka Review by J. C.
Abeka is not written by homeschoolers for homeschoolers. They took a curriculum written for classrooms of 30 kids and adjusted activities so that it could be done with one child. Whether you use videos or not, Abeka is school at home. If that's your ..

My kids have been homeschooled 10 yrs. They Did 2 yrs in private Christian school with abeka. Came back to homeschooling this year, and we did abeka this year (grade 5&7). WAY Too long with unneeded filler which works in classroom but not at home..
A.C.E. Review by Becky
I went to a private school where ACE was used. ACE did teach me independence and how to set small goals. However, I lacked in my education because the curriculum at the time was 2 years behind the public school system. I had very low confidence and k..

ALEKS is completely Horrible. I was forced to use it in my 7th grade class and if i didnt i would ger a 0% as a TEST grade. Everyone using this program will be MADDER at ALEKS than not getting Ice Cream. The questions are hard and requires you to KNO..

Classical Conversations Review by Josh

Starfall Review by michelle fogel
My daughter loves starfall.We studied the grammer (nouns and plural words) and she loved it so much she sang it everywhere we went that day. She told me what nouns were and it was so easy to learn. Starfall also has this great social studies game to ..

Ignite Christian Academy has been the best choice we made for our daughter. From schedule to academics this school is top notch and they actually care about you. Your not just a number here. And having the 24/7 tutoring is well and beyond worth the p..
Sonlight Review by Erika
I have been homeschooling since my oldest (13 y/o) started school. We have used various curriculums and resources since then. Most of them have been free or inexpensive. My oldest child loves to read so I thought Sonlight would be perfect for him. I ..

Time4Learning Review by john

ABCmouse Review by Anne
ABC mouse is good from ages 4-6.
Beware of the payment policy however.
It is a subscription that renews automatically. Also, beware of the “parent assessment” add on. Costs $40/yr (in addition to yearly fee), which I clicked inadvertently at ..
Alpha Omega Monarch Review by Rachel Wright
This curriculum is indoctrination. My parents used it on me from 1999-2011.
It is patriarchal, I remember thinking as a child while reading this...Did women exist back in the day? No child should have to ask themselves that about their gender... I..
Acellus/Power Homeschool Review by Hayden Jones
This program is not worth it, everything newer students do is completely outdated work from 2012.

A.C.E. Review by Tiffany
(Please don't scroll, this is REALLY important)

K¹² Review by Jayla
