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 .."
Liberty University Online Academy Review by Ramona Aboul Hosn
"LUOA is the biggest mistake we ever made. We're too far in now to drop it without losing all our money, but it is an absolute nightmare. It is completely impersonal, as other reviewers have noted. I spent HOURS online repeating myself to various staf.."
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"This program is not worth it, everything newer students do is completely outdated work from 2012.
This "Acellus" app is so glitchy/broken.
Whenever you are doing an exam you are not able to change any answer so if you missclick one wrong answer it .."

A.C.E. Review by Tiffany
"(Please don't scroll, this is REALLY important)
To sum it up, the A.C.E system is far from helpful. After transferring from other schools, several friends and I have had to move back 4 or 5 grades after doing a diagnostic test at an A.C.E school..."
McRuffy Press Review by Melissa
"I have been using McRuffy Press for 12 years. I have used kindergarten through 5th grade for my four children. I love the convenience and the fact it covers all of our needs. All of my children learned to read and developed a live of reading using th.."
McRuffy Press Review by Lauren
"McRuffy Language Arts was my absolute favorite when my children were in early elementary! I loved that it included everything: reading, phonics, grammar, spelling, vocabulary, and writing. I also loved that it was open and go and didn’t need much p.."
K¹² Review by Jayla
"If you're thinking about this school, DON'T DO IT! I couldn't get my child in due to them keep denying my child's documents. It's much easier getting your kid into school a normal public school. They refused to give me the admin phone number and thou.."
Liberty University Online Academy Review by C. Hill
"Unfortunately I am unable to review instructors, etc as this university wasn't able to evaluate transcripts and get my son enrolled in the past two months so we are choosing another school. I would love to save another parent time and frustration whi.."
"LUOA promises a lot and delivers very little. We were told we could graduate our children with 2 years of college complete! That was a complete joke! Everyone I talk to gives us different answers and it is incredibly difficult to get ahold of anyon.."
K¹² Review by Cass
"K12 for my daughter when she was in kindergarten was awful to say the least. The workload was way to much. She had no time to play and she was only 5. Workload took like 7 hours a day, it was ridiculous, no 5 year old can sit that long. Just the phon.."
Time4Learning Review by Leo
"Terrible, Worst homeschooling site that exists. Each activity is so out of context, and other stuff too. They have 1 minute of explaining something, then 20+ questions right after. Change to something else!.."
Time4Learning Review by Rene Brown
"Worst homeschooling platform I have ever had to use. I tutor homeschooled students, primarily in Math but also in other subjects, have used many platforms, and this one is amazingly bad. Outdated, nowhere near enough practice, quizzes are irrelevant .."

IXL Review by William Piotrowski

"We love the flexibility and the course guidlines. Keeping our little one on track is made easier with the assignments "pacing." Better quality education is found at home and our family has grown closer because of the teaching / growing process we exp.."
The Story of the World Review by Rhiannon
"Firstly, I should say that I was so excited to find this resource. I love the idea of looking at history as one big story. However, as a person who is studying to become a historian, I have found that the areas of history that I have knowledge in hav.."
Liberty University Online Academy Review by Patricia Amidon

Acellus/Power Homeschool Review by Rachael

Ignite Christian Academy (formerly Alpha Omega Academy) Review by Rashayna Miller

A.C.E. Review by Marlene Cotla
"A.C.E. was used for me in high school. I was home-schooled due to the fact that the curriculum was low in price at $500 per year compared to these private schools that were unaffordable for my parents. As a student with severe learning disabilities a.."
Abeka Academy Review by Mei

A.C.E. Review by Daniel-Josh Swart
"My son worked so hard from 2011 through his paces.
Completed most of the subjects. Two left and the Knysna school packed up.
No one was willing to carry Him any further to complete.
He now sits with out a matric thanks to ACE.
I am still SO angry.."
A.C.E. Review by Charlotte Ellett
"I grew up using PACE from first grade until I was ready for high school.
I can't recommend it for gifted students. My experience was that I breezed through the workbooks because they were short and simple and it was mostly things which I already .."
"We have LOVED LUOA for our kindergartener this year. He is testing at a 2nd grade reading level, has learned so much about the Bible and his favorite subject is Math. He can do simple addition and counts money like a pro! I'm pleased with the curricu.."
K¹² Review by Lisa
"The K12 day for my K then 1st grader was WAY too much daily work. He spent 3.5 to 4 hours in live, online classes, plus he was required to finish 6-7 lessons a day that on average each took 45 minutes to an hour. He never got to play outside. We star.."
A.C.E. Review by Renee

ALEKS Review by Anonymous

Acellus/Power Homeschool Review by Carrie Howard

Acellus/Power Homeschool Review by Sarah
"This company has taken money from people and wiped out their entire school year. As a homeschool parent and educator, I am appalled and disgusted by the behavior of these people out for profit - not educating kids. They have shown their true colors i.."
"If you've read the more recent reviews than you've seen the tutor mode debacle and both of my kids were caught up in that. Neither of them lost their progress and I'm not sure why my children did not and others did, however, that was the last straw. .."
Acellus/Power Homeschool Review by Carrie Fuchs
"We used and loved power Homeschool for 4.5 years. My son is in 9th grade and has adhd, autism, and Tourette syndrome. We used to tutor mode as it was originally intended, to only be told we should have never used it that way, and that we were in fact.."
Acellus/Power Homeschool Review by Tiffany

Acellus/Power Homeschool Review by Sunshine

Acellus/Power Homeschool Review by Staci Kanter
"My son (7th grade) started Power Homeschool late in the traditional school year after having already covered much of the material for his grade elsewhere. For that reason, we opted to put some of his courses in “Tutor mode” instead of teacher mo.."
Acellus/Power Homeschool Review by Celicia
"We have been using this program for only a little over a month. We came from a rigorous book curriculum, Christian Light Education. We loved that curriculum, but our season of life required a change and I knew online would be the best option for us.

Acellus/Power Homeschool Review by Stacey Scott
"Owner of this business completely changed the program and removed 7 months of progress for students. Then instead of making it right by letting them finish their studies, he threatened to pull the product for everyone. This is the third time that I k.."
Acellus/Power Homeschool Review by Dani
"Do not use this program. The owners abruptly stopped half of the material for homeschoolers without warning, without notice, and without acceptable reason. Thousands of families are affected as they have erased entire school years ago f the children..."
Classical Conversations Review by Jess

Time4Learning Review by Alan Gaddy
"I have used Time4Learning for almost 10 years. It's been a lifesaver to me and my family. I've been able to homeschool six children without losing my mind. Yes, there are a few minor glitches here and there, but nothing I haven't experienced with oth.."
A.C.E. Review by Amy
"40 years old and still a little sad about the lack of education I received at a private Christian school using ACE. The only good part was English/Word Building, as grammar was taught well including etimology which gave me a strong vocabulary. Histor.."
Alpha Omega Monarch Review by Cindy
"The curriculum is great and I have used it for many, many years. Make sure you stop payment drafts before closing your account. They are not both done at the same time, as I just, regrettably found out. They worked on refunding me some of the char.."
BJU Press Review by TiffanyW
"BJU Distance Learning Online (DLO) with the New Homeschoolhub is Awesome. It really helps keeps things organized each school day. The kids can work independently with a planned workday calendar. I have 4 students in grades k4, 2nd, 4th and 10th. I al.."
Ignite Christian Academy (formerly Alpha Omega Academy) Review by Donna Marie Ramos
