Teaching Textbooks™ Review by Kat Missig
"Know that level 3 of TT is not grade 3. It was never meant to be. The complaint that it's not up to grade level is because people think level 5 is grade 5. Level five is more like most public school grade 4 I think. I think TT can be a way to enc.."

The Keystone School Review by Leslie Treff
"I was shocked at the strength of the negative reviews here. First, I want to say that, after taking one course to make up for some 6th grade math that he had not mastered two summers ago, my previously public schooled son is now enrolled in 8th grade.."
A.C.E. Review by Tracy
"Some of these reviews have me scratching my head.
I have used A.C.E. on and off for 22 years now (and used it exclusively in my children's earlier homeschooling years). I was also a Supervisor in an A.C.E school for a very brief period of time.

Thinkwell Math Review by Shelley
"My son really enjoyed the teacher saying he was funny. Overall impressed with the rigor and content. My son is very quick at learning math so for the most part the quick lessons and not a lot of practice was ok. There was only one time we’re he jus.."
ALEKS Review by Brian
"I put my 10 year old son in 5th grade math through Aleks. It was vastly superior to a) public school b) other online learning systems that either aren't graded, or use multiple choice. With Aleks, there's no multiple choice, a student has to figure.."
A.C.E. Review by Emma
"As someone who was taught with ACE there is very little 'Pro's' I can think of.
It made me feel like there was only one way to view the world and everything else was wrong. Even how they worded things - it was very biased and you had to write 'th.."
Time4Learning Review by Melissa
"I have used time for learning for just over a yr. For 2 girls. I have seen 2-3-4-7-8 grade curriculums which I didn't find anything that has bothered me within the teachings. The program is easy to use. However, this yr my 8th grader came to me wit.."
Abeka Review by Krissy
"I would not recommend abeka. I have 5 kids and have did many grades using abeka. It's very rigorous and a lot of time spent in front of a video! So many worksheets and tons of repetitive stuff. My daughter struggled in the very advanced preschool pr.."
Liberty University Online Academy Review by JPollos
"Great school and curriculum for motivated students. Our sons completed their high school grades 9-12. They started their day at 7am and we’re finished by 1pm. They worked full time and earned money to pay for college. They were able to call and tal.."
A.C.E. Review by Connie
"I attended an ACE school for highschool. I had a hard time with math and required a tutor to finish geometry and algebra III. I only took Biology and Physical Science and went on to nursing school in college. I had a difficult time with anatomy and p.."
Liberty University Online Academy Review by Christopher

The Keystone School Review by Richie

Acellus/Power Homeschool Review by Maddie
"Hello! I am a student of the Acellus program- have been for about a week now, and I’ve got a good idea of how this program works. For those looking for a home schooling program, Acellus is a good (enough) choice. Although, I haven’t been using Ac.."

Acellus/Power Homeschool Review by Nicole

My 15-year-old loves this program for his 10th-grade curriculum.

Acellus/Power Homeschool Review by Anonymous
"During the lessons when you give a video that explains how to do the specific problem, there should be a way to re-watch that exact video. None of the help videos go over that exact problem, and using the "skip" button doesn't solve the question. Som.."
Abeka Review by A Sweeney

Abeka Review by Allison

Oak Meadow Review by Sara in Canada

Abeka Review by Tahi Reyes
"I should never have given Abeka a second attempt. Initial use four years ago for K5 and 5th grade was a waste of money; after a week or two, the children chucked it. Though they retained and liked some things, they were mostly disinterested in watchi.."

ALEKS Review by Adam

Time4Learning Review by Ashley
"We've been using Time4Learning for 4 months now. Y'all....save your money. It's a waste. The interface is an absolute nightmare. The glitches are never-ending. I'm sure the content is fine, but it's incredibly difficult to follow along as a parent un.."
A.C.E. Review by Kristina
