A.C.E. Review by Annie
We have been using this curriculum for several years in our home. I have 6 homeschooled children, and this curriculum literally saved our homeschool when I was burned out and worried that my kids were not getting everything they needed individually. ..
Time4Learning Review by Daniel
I used it for years, until now. They dropped the ability to put a hold on your account over the summer. They would drop the price to a few dollars a month during that time but now they want the full price for each month the same as when your kids are..
Time4Learning Review by Hamid Tehrani
My son used Time4Learning for his entire grade school. We switched to Acellus Academy in 6th grade. I give them a grade of F for content (mainly for pervasive errors and inaccuracies, partly for presentation...). I give them D for customer service, ..

Horrible school. My son in 8th grade is grades went down so much in the past 3 weeks; it's terrible. their teachers inexperienced and with the teacher's help his grades went from 85 and up to 32-65. Most of their classes do not have a study guide, an..

Liberty University Online Academy Review by Shirley G.
⭐ Rating: 2/5
As a parent of two students enrolled in LUOA, I had high expectations for a structured and supportive online learning experience. Unfortunately, after paying over $300 per month, I’ve realized that LUOA operates more like an auto..
The Keystone School Review by Marina
I've been in Keystone since 7th grade, and am currently in the 12th grade. Keystone has improved over the years, in terms of technical support or communication but the courses themselves are hell. This coursework, the grading system, all of it is hor..
Laurel Springs School Review by Rather not say
Laurel Springs lured us in by boasting about their qualified teachers, accessibility, opportunities for social interactions, established online curriculum, etc. None of it is true. This review is primarily for the second grade curriculum because I wa..

The Keystone School Review by Bruce
I have home schooled 6 children during last 30 years. Keystone is one of the worst in the business. Even T4L is better than Keystone while it is over 90% cheaper. Keystone does not make any sense...
Ignite Christian Academy (formerly Alpha Omega Academy) Review by Stephanie Potter
We would definitely recommend Ignite Christian Academy. Our 15 year old son had open heart surgery and is sick more than normal kids his age. So going back to school meant contacting more germs and illnesses. He would stay home and get behind on scho..

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..
Acellus/Power Homeschool Review by Francine

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.

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..
BJU Press Review by Judi

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 ..

A.C.E. Review by Becky

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..
BJU Press Review by Teresa
The maps are wonderful and overall views of various culture and history were good. I felt it pushed an environmental view a little too much but overall it was a good curriculum. I did like the tests and activity book. My son took it 10th grade. The..

Thinkwell Math Review by Karen W
Our three sons who are strong in math used Thinkwell math starting from Precalculus (which is a big course - start in the summer!), AP Calculus AB, and AP Calculus BC from 2010 - 2018. All three got 5s on their AP exams and well prepared to study eng..
Time4Learning Review by Rebeckah
Buyers Beware~
Watch your billing accounts closely after following the instructions to cancel services. The most unfortunate experience was their confusing, redundant and unclear consultation process. An unrequested, 2nd email must be sent to confir..
My daughter began Ignite Christian Academy in 10th grade. She just finished her first quarter and is enjoying and thriving with her online school experience. The teachers are very active in the learning process and the help room is easily accessible...
Classical Conversations Review by Josh
We are 3 years in, wife is a tutor this year, and it will be our last. She agreed to be a tutor so it would pay for tuition for our three kids. But instead of cancelling out the tuition, we still had to pay, then essentially CC pays her back quarterl..
Acellus/Power Homeschool Review by Julie
This program started out great. The teachers are very effective and my son likes them.

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 ..
My son, who is 15, has been a Liberty student since seventh grade. He is able to complete his work within 3 hours which is why he prefers it to public school. The classes are challenging, which I like, but he is very self-disciplined and has a good..
Calvert Review by Toni Peterson
We started Calvert this year as my daughter was entering her junior year. Most friends and family were supportive, but still concerned she might miss out on things.
She was so tired from the rigor of school and competitive dance, that we were worri..
Laurel Springs School Review by Laura
Rigorous, classical content. Self-paced with continual checkpoints to ensure content mastery before student is allowed to proceed with next lesson. Based on my 2+ years of research pre-& during Covid, LS is the best option available for the inves..

long and bad days, too much work, too many essays, to much work. the work load is too much, math problems are too hard. I am not very happy. They need to teach math better...
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 ..
We absolutely love this school and the support we receive. We have been recommending Ignite to everyone! My son is in 7th grade and said he feels like his teachers are efficient because he learns a lot in 30 mins yet struggled in public school with 7..
