    Pros: Totally all encompassing
    Cons: Customer service at alpha and omega
    Grades Used: 4-11

    I love this curriculum and am super disappointed it's discontinued. Now all my curriculum is useless. I have a grandchild I home school in 4th grade. I can't even get thru the second semester because alpha omega quit offering registration codes... that's all that's required. I'm upset with the publisher and will not switch to an online curriculum.

    Pros: None
    Cons: Everything
    Grades Used: 6th-11th

    I used this program from when I was in 6th grade till 11th grade and let me tell you.. It did more harm than good. It constantly told me I was wrong on the right answers, broke my self esteem, and taught me that "women needed to be owned by men". Which isn't okay at ALL considering the amount of crap they already put on a teenagers shoulders with continuous grief and pain. When I got to 12th Grade I had to BEG my mother to not use this program anymore due to how horrifically broken the program and it's curriculum was. This program never helped me and I HAD to teach myself most of the knowledge I have now. This program only made me hate christian-based/religion-based curriculum and lets me know that I would NEVER put someone else through this.

    Pros: Report cards, grading and assignments are submitted automatically, parents have the option of reassigning work until the desired grades are achieved, students can excel at their own pace and graduate much earlier than public school students.
    Cons: None!
    Grades Used: 3-11

    Love, love, love this software!

    The core curriculum is outstanding and is the exact same curriculum used by Southeast VA Christian Academy (which I previously used).

    I switched to using this when I realized it's the same program, but less expensive to facilitate and doesn't require internet access.

    My daughter completed through 11th grade and then attended high school publicly- graduating with honors.
