They have everything you need from pre-school through high school, including pre-packaged curriculum with lesson plans for K-9. The company staff is willing and ready to help make your homeschooling experience all you want it to be. They are very helpful and knowledgeable.

This includes an individualized study program, quarterly evaluations, and provides year-end standardized testing.
