We have six kids as I'm thinking you have guessed 😉, well for our homeschooling curriculum for four we use a program called alpha omega switched on schoolhouse https://www.aop.com/curriculum/switched-on-schoolhouse?gclid=CjwKEAjwmZWvBRCCqrDK_8atgBUSJACnib3lKjRtpSUPz2CC9w3mFOhCCS4XcvOaJAf6O2NxI6i0aRoCgNPw_wcB link is right here for you to check it out.
One major reason I choose this curriculum was, because it freed up my time, having all kids in different grades and trying to keep up with everyone at the same time just wasn't working, we were stressed and tired and mama was super cranky!
I loved how it took all the grading from me, and did it for me, the kids have there own student portal and I have my teachers portal, so whatever they do I monitor and generate the grade it reports. I love how it has official transcripts too.
It supports grades 3 thru 12 and college. The same company AOP (alpha omega publications) has other curriculums for that age, so how does it work.
So when you buy the package it comes with disc to install on your computer, our children have there own laptop for school so there is no confusion. Once you install and register your product with the school you are good to go and your child can get started. It will walk you and your child throughout the process. They have tutorial for the kids on how to do there school work and it also speaks and reads them there chapters once at a time just like a teacher would do in class.
It will show you how to do your problem and give you the ability to skip that question so that the teacher (mummy) can view it and work on it with you.
I sincerely love this program, it has given me so much time back which helps me do schoolwork with my 5 years old and 2 year old (Madison school is drawing ) it gives me the time I need with Savannah for her to lean to read and write. I will do a review on what we use for her in another blog.
Don't get me wrong the kids are always asking questions, or needing something and I am fine with that, but it has taken a Huge load of my shoulder by grading and explaining the lesson to them.
Once each term is completed you can send for the grades Or print them out just like you would have in school, pretty awesome huh!!
Another thing I love about AOP is all there electives they have, currently we own business management, French and Spanish. They come in 4 disc and 5 disc the difference is the 5 disc has the bible included with it.
So even though it is a computer based school, you still have the option of printing out your work, sometimes we will especially for our 9 year old. It's completely optional.
This is our second year using it, I have no plan on changing there curriculum no time soon, we are very happy with it after trying out so so many curriculum's. The kids enjoy and love it themselves and Re very happy, they have learned more on this then anything else.
So for our family they get a 5/5 its definitely worth the money. Which I forgot to mention can be a little pricey but once you compare it to other things it pretty worth it in the long run.
Thanks for reading guys!
God bless
