ALEKS Review by Mrs. K.
"So dissatisfied with this program. No explanation or examples are given to students. Does not align to many state standards but rather to homeschool based learning which has a completely different approach when learning many concepts.This proves to.."
Acellus/Power Homeschool Review by Avery
"I’ve been using Acellus for over a month, and I am absolutely in love with it. Acellus has literally changed my life! The classes are pretty straightforward, simple, and the assignments are hella easy. I also really like how you can retake somethin.."
Abeka Academy Review by Julie Soto
"I have used Abeka, parent-led products since 2015. This year, my son asked to be enrolled in Abeka Academy and chose digital books. We began classes on 8/10/22. On 8/15/22 we chose to switch from accredited to non-accredited. Unfortunately, they rem.."
Shurley English Review by Katrina Jimenez
"This is a very thorough grammar curriculum. I have used Shurley English with my daughter 2nd-5th grade and plan to continue through 7th. It certainly requires an investment of time, especially in the beginning, much like Saxon Math. But like Saxon Ma.."
Classical Conversations Review by Stephanie D
"I have been using Classical Conversations for 10+ years. My boys have gone through the Foundations, Essentials, and Challenge programs. Now that I have the vantage point of seeing all levels, I feel as though I can speak from an educated point of vie.."
Time4Learning Review by Kim
"I second the previous reviews. We have used Time4Learning Civics course last year. We didn't finish it and planned to complete in the fall. Well, they completely changed the course and format of instruction. My son doesn't prefer having to constantly.."
Abeka Academy Review by Jackie
"I love the material and love the video lessons. They are Bible centered which is why we went with Abeka. I do appreciate the challenging material, but my children are failing nearly every quiz. We do the online assessments so I can’t see the questi.."
Laurel Springs School Review by Allison

Time4Learning Review by Kyle

Calvert Review by Cris
"This will be our second year using Calvert Academy. We started in 2021 in 6th grade and will be using their services again this year for 7th grade. It's an excellent option for homeschooling parents to subsidize part or all of your curriculum needs. .."

The Keystone School Review by Ms. Amy
"Worst online school!
Do not send your kids here, they deserve better. These people do not care education, only about money. And watch out- if your kid forgets to cite a source on a research paper, they will dis enroll you in a heartbeat claiming pla.."
"I used the original curriculum years and years ago (15 now?) and then tried the redesign about eight years later. We never made it past Week 9 either time. The sheer amount of teacher prep was overwhelming. The first time, I had one Lower Grammar (so.."
BJU Press Review by Aly R.

Time4Learning Review by Hamid Tehrani

Abeka Review by Cindy

Liberty University Online Academy Review by Z's Mom

Teaching Textbooks™ Review by Angela Thornburg

Acellus/Power Homeschool Review by Monica

Calvert Review by D
"This school has some potential. But sadly this is not a good homeschool for your children. The work given was above the grade level my child was on. The work held my child down the whole year. If your child has focusing issues, this school is not for.."

Acellus/Power Homeschool Review by Kathryn

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

A.C.E. Review by Tracy
"Some of these reviews have me scratching my head.

ALEKS Review by Brian

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

Liberty University Online Academy Review by JPollos

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.."
