"I think SOS is just amazing! I've been looking through the electives and other curriculum, and I just can't wait to start my kids on SOS."

"I used Alpha Omega Publications to educate my children from 1987 through 2000, and both graduated with 3.8 GPAs. My children are now beginning to educate my grandchildren using the same curriculum. When asked if I would use the same curriculum again, I always say, 'Yes, you better believe it. It has the highest academic standards in the country, and it teaches children to learn.' Besides, there is very little parental involvement (unless you have a stubborn child...Ha!). If I had it to do over, I'd use the same materials. It will be great watching my grandchildren grow with this curriculum."
