By Rebecca (Florida) Visitor Review: I used this curriculum when my daughter did her 6,7, and 8th grades in 2000-2003. It helped me be able to work part time but give her a great education. Lesson plans and everything done for you. I only had to step in when a problem stumped her. We usually…
By Susan (New Mexico) Visitor Review: I have four homeschooling children – 16, 15, 12, and 5-three of whom are being homeschooled with SOS. My children love this program because of the flexibility. We like switching between computer work and (what I call) “book work.” Book work is when I print a particular assignment and…
By Tricia Bright (Riverside, NJ) Visitor Review: We have used Switched on Schoolhouse since grade 3. My oldest is doing 12th grade this year. We find this to be a very thorough and engaging curriculum. My children enjoy the multimedia interspersed throughout the lessons. The video clips and slide presentations really enhance the lessons. And…
By Linda (USA) Visitor Review: I wonder how long Paula (review above!) actually used SOS!! Like Martie, I have also used this curriculum for 10 years with my three daughters. They are all high school graduates now. They are living proof that this review is not accurate. All three performed well above national norms on…
By Paula (Salem, WV) Visitor Review: In general SOS is two full grade levels below the state curriculum (and I live in a low performing state). In spite of this, it manages to be difficult because it is written in a way that is NOT user friendly. I think that in the social studies and…
By anonymous parent (USA) Visitor Review: We first used SOS 6 years ago, for grades 5 and 6, Science and Language Arts. It was the 2002 version and we all hated it, especially the kids. It would grade things wrong, when they were not, creating more work for me. I swore we would never go…
By Debbie (Newark, DE) Visitor Review: I have just started home schooling my 9 year old son this year. He is very computer literate and so we decided to try Switched on Schoolhouse for 3rd grade. We absolutely love it. Each day’s lesson is planned and the instant grading allows us to stay focused on…
By Patty Clark (USA) Visitor Review: We’ve been using Lifepacs from K to 3rd and then get into SOS. There is always a temptation to go to another curriculum, especially after being with a group of friends using other curriculum or browsing a homeschool magazine or catalog. We came to the Lifepac and SOS decision…
By Angie (Tarboro, NC) Visitor Review: SOS Curriculum is a great choice for those new to the homeschool choice. It is a great computer based program which has lots to offer. My son just finished the 4th grade and scored above average at the year end testing. I thank the SOS program for this accomplishment….
By Kellee (United States) Visitor Review: The SOS curriculum has many benefits. We have used it since 2008 for grades 3, 4 and 5. We love being able to have both boys working on their own and becoming independent learners. Although they require guidance and teaching it is not as time consuming as textbook learning…
