Switched-On Schoolhouse is a Christ-centered curriculum for grades 3-12 with a developmental, in-depth study of the 5 core subjects.
With 3-D animation, video clips, and other fascinating multimedia, Switched-On Schoolhouse is the perfect homeschool curriculum for today's generation. With this flexible, best-selling curriculum, you can customize student learning to fit individual educational needs.
Unlike traditional textbook curriculums with dry, one-dimensional lessons, Switched-On Schoolhouse (SOS) has a diverse, vibrant mix of entertaining lessons, assignments quizzes, as well as gives you the ability to create, remove, and add lessons as you see fit for a more individual student needs! Fun-filled lessons are created to captivate students' attention and engage them in learning. Lessons can be printed or completed on the computer.
For multiple students you can set mom or dads computer up as server and be able to administer all "teacher" responcibilities, while still allowing your student(s) to work on their computers. The best part of this program is 99% of the correcting is done for you, and if you dont have a clue how to create your own curriculum then the basics are already there for you. Parents can check in on work done and even print report cards anytime desired.
This program has been a huge timesaver for me while teaching four students by myself. I cant say enough good about this program. It has even helped with my slow readers because they can highlight the words and the program will read it outloud to them rather than me having to run back and forth reading directions to each child.
I bought the complete program from 3rd-12th grade including all the electives last fall, but I am only need from 6th grade up so I am offering 3rd-5th grades to my fellow AVOW members for $50. less than you can buy it brand new from SOS. I will consider selling individual grades (5 subject disks for each grade) for $350. each. Will include free shipping (in the U.S.) if you buy all three grade's.
Feel free to read all about the program and see lots of good videos of how it works on the SOS website before considering this option for your child.
