I am so happy to have Switched On Schoolhouse. We are completing our third grade curriculum and will be preparing for the fourth grade SOS in another two months. What a relief that I now have this trusted curriculum for my older child so that I can have more time available for the younger ones. I have peace of mind that my older child is being challenged and enjoying the independence of working on her own. It's a great fit for our family.

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 recently ordered the Switched-On Schoolhouse Science 3 and History & Geography 3. I was pleased that it was a much easier setup and installation process than I had expected (especially over two computers, one without a CD-ROM drive). I felt like the layout of the program was kind of "old school", but it is pretty simple to figure out and gets the job done. Setting up scheduling, assignments, and grading has been an enjoyable process for me, and my daughter quickly learned how to navigate the program for her own use. I am excited to see h...(more)

We really love the SOS curriculum. It is very easy to use and setup takes seconds. Great product with updates and grading all in one place. Children get to set up and make changes to thier own page to personalize as well, kinda fun for them too. You can access other info as well. Alot of possibilities and choices to choose from. Rewarding for them to see their scores right away. I tell all that I come into contact with about SOS and HOMESCHOOL BUYERS CO-OP...Great place, with freebies and discounts. Very helpful for a large family.

My daughter (16) really likes SOS Schoolhouse. We used it for ND History and Health last year and are using it for Business Computer this year. We like how self-explanatory it is as well as the self-grading features for me as a busy mom. With 7 kids it's nice to have something you don't have to explain.

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.

My son loves Switched-On Schoolhouse, and so do I! The interactive lessons and games keep schoolwork interesting for him, and the automatic grading makes it easy for me. If your children are visual learners or you're feeling like you're being stretched too thin with all the lesson planning and preparation that textbooks require, Switched-On Schoolhouse is your answer.

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!!

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!

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)
