Switched on Schoolhouse Fun

AOP's Switched On Schoolhouse Makes Learning Fun!

Eliminate homeschooling woes! Switched on Schoolhouse turns school work into fun for these young girls, and helps them become more self-motivated.

This is our first year using SOS. We are currently using 4th and 7th grade and my girls and I love it. In years past, many school days would begin with moans and groans about how many pages they had to read.

Moving from one subject to the next was a struggle as well. It seemed like such work to the girls. SOS has it all, with little transition from one subject to another, and no books.

Although they read essays and such online, it seems like less of a job to them and more like fun. School days go smoothly and with no fuss. SOS has made my girls self-motivators that retain much more than they would with any book.

We Love SOS
by: Tamra Parask

Just wanted to say we have used SOS all through our homeschool experience. Started with three children in 4, 6, and 7yh grades. Two have graduated and one in 11th grade. Now we have a 6yr old and ca't wait to start the 3rd grade stuff with her when she gets that far(SOS starts with 3rd grade). Just using 2-3 dollar workbooks this year for 'kindergarten' and she is already doing 1st and 2nd grade level books so I think next year will start some of the SOS 3rd grade stuff.
I will say that sometimes(rarely), I wish things were a little more in-depth, but as with every cirriculum, there are always things and can't possibly cover EVERYTHING, just like in any school setting as well. but OVERALL it is the best we've found and the benefits far outweigh any other cirriculum, such as set up, grading, simplicity, etc.....someone was thinking!!!
I am an R.N. in a NICU, so is a great help for a 'working' homeschooler:)

Thank you!
