love this program wish I would've bought it sooner. it saves us so much time on grading papers and the kids know exactly what they have to do and when it's due. It also allows me to reassign lessons so if they rushed through one I can make sure they know it by reassigning it for them. The kids love to be able to print out their grade reports. Definitely worth the price and saves on frustration.

I really like the SOS curriculum. My son Loves it. I really like the flexibility and the design over all. It has helped a great deal because I homeschool all five of my children.The younger ones are more hands on. My son is really a self starter and this helps a great deal. I will continue to use this program.

After two years of traditional school, our daughter was ready to homeschool. We started with her two favorite subjects in Switched-On Schoolhouse, science and history, but by her third year, we were only using Switched-On Schoolhouse. Now, we are embarking upon our fourth year, and our daughter looks like she has completely closed all the learning gaps in math and language arts. She enjoys all her subjects and is taking more responsibility for her schedule and workload. This year we're trying one lesson of math and language arts each morning, a...(more)

I was thrilled when a friend recommended and I used Switched-on-Schoolhouse by Alpha-Omega. It makes homeschooling so much easier, by allowing me to set up my school year calendar, and then making assignments from the curriculum for the year. It also conveniently keeps track of the grade averages for each subject, the hours spent on each subject, and provides a way to keep a record of attendance easily. Students can easily see their assignments for the day, and they do their work on the computer.
I will definitely continue using it, and I...(more)

We were struggling with Integrated Science and Chemistry, after four prior years with ease in science. We switched mid-semester to AOP's Switched on Schoolhouse and oh my. I'm in heaven and so is my son. He loves it, I love it, and the program does everything, I just did the initial set-up and off he went. I just print out weekly updates to see where and how he is progressing. Thank you Alpha-Omega!

SOS helps me a lot. I have been homeschooled for seven years. My mom pulled me out of public school when I was in the fourth grade. Now successfully, I am in the eleventh grade making As and Bs. I'm also on the honor roll. I love SOS because it teaches you what you need, and it teaches from a Christian perspective. I believe everybody should be homeschooled because there is no school like home.

I absolutely LOVE the Alpha-Omega (Switched On Schoolhouse) curriculum!! It works for me and my son loves it as well. He is 13 and in the 8th grade. There is less on my part to do. I review it everyday but the computer based program does most of the work for me in terms of keeping him on track, grading, and making it fun and interactive for him. My son is a kinesthetic learner so this is perfect for him! It saved me a lot of stress from a previous curriculum. I will definitely continue to use it and I told EVERYONE about it!!

Switched-On Schoolhouse was everything we needed to be able to continue home educating our children. It was sent from heaven to our doorstep! We have been using SOS with 3 students and I wish so much that we would have known about it earlier for our son who graduated last year. I had concerns about the children using the computer so much, but we have had a wonderful experience and my children love seeing their grades every day--no more waiting for Mom! SOS has helped me enjoy teaching my children again. It has taken the dread out of a new day f...(more)

I had already been homeschooling for nine years when a friend told me about Switched-On Schoolhouse. It couldn't have come at a better time. I had become so overwhelmed by the workload required to homeschool three children that I didn't know how I could keep going. The daily grading and weekly lesson-planning amounted to a 20-hour per week job....on top of time spent teaching and the normal schedule of a housewife and mother! I desperately needed a change.
Switching to 'SOS' was the best homeschooling decision I ever made! It has been six year...(more)

We have been using SOS for three years now. It is a great program. Easy to use for the children and great for the parent as it grades automatically, keeps reports. It is a great product as I can use it for up to five children for one complete subject. So purchasing multiple times is not necessary. Children really like to program and we will continue to use it for many years.
