Liberty University Online Academy Review by Elizabeth
"LUOA is definitely better than public education, but there are stronger Christian-based and educationally sound programs out there that aren't as expensive.
My son and I enjoyed the flexibility of school days and hours, but that is typical of many.."
K¹² Review by Kase
"I was a student myself and was highly excited to try out homeschool, until it became overwhelming and the more work I did the more popped up. Even though I had good grades I still failed, my parents scolded me because they thought it was my fault I d.."
Under the Home Review by Mrs H Cloud
"This is our first year using Under the Home instead of Ambleside Online. We are using it for kindergarten and second grade. My children are familiar with the reading and phonics material from AO used likewise by UtH. The already embedded links and vi.."

BJU Press Review by Anya Kouliacheva
"We purchased BJU press Focus on Fives and Math K5. We feel that the material is highly disorganized and that the authors made little effort to make the system user-friendly. They included the wrong CD with that math curriculum, which added to the con.."
ALEKS Review by Jade Morgan
"ALEKS is absolutely terrible. It is such a waste of time (and if you pay, money). ALEKS teaches students nothing, expects students to magically understand everything & pass, but then for no reason the software changes answers & explanations i.."
A.C.E. Review by Cheng
"My kid and I enjoy the Christianity based ACE program. However ACE should make a serious review on the PACE as its questions asked are old fashion and the answers are too predictable. It fails to train children to be more critical in thinking. In ma.."
Abeka Review by Cindy
"Did this school for one year with my son. The sixth grade, he was so overwhelmed with all the work load and gave him such anxiety that we couldn't even get through the first week. I enroll him in public school and insist they put him in 6th grade. I .."
Liberty University Online Academy Review by Don’t use LUOA
"This is a homeschoolers nightmare!
Do not consider this as an option for your children. I chose LUOA as I needed to homeschool due to COVID it has been an absolute nightmare! I am a teacher and felt that this was a good fit for our family and I was .."
Abeka Review by Celeste

Horizons Review by Trisha

Liberty University Online Academy Review by Sommer B Johnson

The Keystone School Review by Gabi Ray
"I think this online school is awful. They ask you to do over the top project that is just busy work for students. Going from be taught in school to this homeschool program was an awful experience for me. I felt like i was drowned in school work all t.."
Weaver Curriculum Review by Grace E.
"When I began to look at what I wanted to accomplish with our homeschooling adventure several goals became very clear. But my all-consuming desire was that my children become lovers of Jesus and his servants. We are a missionary family and see the cry.."
Time4Learning Review by Bex
"This program is just okay. I did appreciate it when I was super stressed with work at home and needed the scaffolding and grading done for me . It isn’t disparaging against Christians nor white people at all. It isn’t centered on only Christian a.."
ABCmouse Review by Lavinia Packard

Time4Learning Review by Aurora
"We signed up for this in the hope that we could use it to help our son catch up in different areas of math and language arts because of the ability to access multiple grades and switch between them. In the end we decided that it would be easier (and .."
Acellus/Power Homeschool Review by Averi
"This school is literally the biggest piece of steaming trash ever. That’s all that can be said. Other than the fact that the teachers are sexist, racist, people. They keep pushing on the stereotypes of the girls having to cook and clean for their h.."
"I love AOA! My daughter has been there since the 3rd grade. I have nothing but positive things to say about the school. Laci is the best! (She should get a raise!) The teachers are amazing! (except the Spanish teacher) If I was asked to give one pi.."
Florida Virtual School Review by Stephanie Cummons
"Flvs worked great for my daughter that failed 2 classes when the pandemic hit. Her grades fell for at home learning through her school.... 8 hr days on a computer is tiring for a 14 yr old. Out of the 3 classes she's taken the teachers were all super.."
Wild Math Review by Danielle
"I am a huge fan of Wild Math. I'm homeschooling twins (one very studious young lady and one very stubborn, easily distractable young man). I chose Wild Math because we are an outdoorsy family that loves dirt and hands-on fun. Its a perfect fit. Howe.."
Supercharged Science Review by Luke
"Although I think Aurora is an amazing woman with a great personality, she talk really fast and it can be hard to understand what she's saying. Other than that, I think her program is incredible. She really does hands-on activities and her prices are .."
Abeka Review by Nadia S.

BookShark Review by The Morris Homeschool
"It took us a couple of year to finally dive into Bookshark. Our son is in 9th grade this year.
We used Level I US History and LA sets.

As with any curriculum .."
Time4Learning Review by Emily

ALEKS Review by Joshua Helms
"All ALEKS does is make you stressed out, and makes you waste your time on random topics that we haven't even learned yet. It only helps you find calculators for different subjects. Would not recommend it to any school..."
Homeschool Buyers Co-op Review by Michael

Calvert Review by AL

Seton Home Study School Review by Prepare
"If you do not like logic or critical thinking, RUN.
If you think that reading, grammar, and spelling are beneath you or your children, RUN.
If you think that passing grades should be arbitrarily handed to your child, RUN.
If you want to raise a t.."
Time4Learning Review by Deanna Jones
"I am a homeschooling mom of 8 years. I have a BS in Communication Disorders. I say this because it is relevant to how terrible this program is overall. When an honors graduate from college cannot do a program because they test over information not co.."
Teaching Textbooks™ Review by Sam

Acellus/Power Homeschool Review by Melissa

The Keystone School Review by Cece

A.C.E. Review by Michael Perry
"I used this curriculum for 2.5 years for four kids for these grade levels: K, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7, 8, 9. From an academic standpoint, the curriculum has many deficits. Science and social studies are the weakest points of the curriculum, because PACE.."

The Keystone School Review by Josie
"I have my two children enrolled at Keystone. I was glad to find an online school with flexible school hours and can be done at their own phase. Since we are in the military, it is the only option because we often move in different country. However, i.."
Acellus/Power Homeschool Review by Maria O.
"We are using Acellus for 4 years now. Kids enjoy this program. This curriculum is well structured and grading is done online. One of the great options is the ability to retake the quizzes until passing grade is achieved. Easy and fair grading syst.."
Acellus/Power Homeschool Review by Michael Cole

The Keystone School Review by LeighAnne Yelton
"I am shocked and so disappointed. I enrolled my niece and we are only 3 weeks in and have NO help. This is going to put her behind. I guess we will have to ride this out. But she is going to be 15/16 in the 8th grade! I am devastated..."
MUZZY Review by Rosetta

I have tried to use the Italian version of Muzzy for my preschoolers.
Although it is paced well and has a good approach to vocabulary and phrasing for young children, The con tent is inappropriate. The storylines are d.."
Abeka Review by Rose
"I want to cry. It's a lot of work. I somehow manage to keep up. I don't really have time to hang out with friends and work on other things besides school. It's stressful and unless you hate your kid or they can handle it I won't do Abeka..."
Abeka Review by Rachael
"I tried to buy accredited materials for my child, I was told I could not due to an age restriction, then I was told I could request a waiver, I was yelled at by someone in the Solutions Department and was told I am not allowed to purchase curriculum .."
Abeka Review by Kelsey Haldeman
"I most likely will never use again. If I do it would be Unaccredited. I did accredited K5 and the grading scale broke my child’s spirit. I stopped showing him his grades during 4th grading period because he told me “I can’t get an A momma I’l.."
