"SOS is a complete, Bible-based curriculum that my child loves, and it requires minimal effort from me."

-Cori P., AL

"I have been happy with the way SOS's content engages my daughter, as opposed to doing all of her work in books. We currently do a mix of bookwork and computer work, which keeps it different every day. We love SOS Spanish lessons - they are so fun that my daughter is way ahead in that subject."

-Jennifer K., TN

"SOS eases my mind in that I know my child is getting a great education."

-Mary Margaret M., TX

"I wish I had discovered SOS nine years ago. My boys are grasping the content so much more, and the learning is sticking better. With SOS, cheating is impossible, and they can't be sloppy in answers. I am so excited to have found this program!"

-Heidi B., MI

"Being able to do the lessons on the computer gives my student more motivation to do the work."

-Genevieve B., TX

"When you have 10 children, the task of teaching all subjects to all your school-age children, as well as care for the little ones is overwhelming. SOS has allowed my children to go forward in each subject, while I can concentrate on subjects or particular lessons with the ones who need extra help. It also grades most things and introduces chlidren to grades and how each lesson can affect their overall grade. This keeps them on their toes."

-Kim K., SD

"SOS has helped take the 'terror' out of home schooling high school. I have report cards, grades, and core curriculum that I trust."

-Timothy P., OH

"SOS is very easy to use, very affordable, and very organized. At the end of the year we do reviews for other homeschool families. They always have mountains of books and stacks of paper and can never seem to find anything. We have the full assignment and grade report for every subject on two pieces of paper."

-Matthew R., MD

"I ordered your SOS program to start homeschooling my two children. Your program not only changed my children's lives, but it also brought back a relationship with my children and brought back God into our home. Thank you so much for being there and changing lives."

-Dawn D., MT

"Our son is thoroughly enjoying learning in the SOS environment. He is asking to do school work on non-school days!"

-Melinda A., ME

"SOS is well-rounded and makes home-schooling multiple children much easier. I am an employed single parent, and I rely on your product to make our homeschool a success. I shout your praises to everyone who inquires how I manage my time."

-Cathy C., MO

"SOS hits on subjects sometimes ignored in other Christian-based programs. The ease of use and all the tracking it does for you takes literally hours off administring the program and submitting information to the state."

-Christopher P., MT

"SOS is a truly a wonderful option for teaching parents who may be overwhelmed by choosing from multiple curriculums, planning lessons, grading, etc. It does a great deal of the work for you, which leaves you less stressed and free to help with the lessons. It is Bible-based and very strong on Bible teaching, which can be difficult to find."

-Wendy M., VA

"SOS gives my son the independence he craves in his schooling. He feels a great sense of accomplishment as he completes his assignments and has immediate feedback for his grades. SOS also gives me the freedom to work with my younger daughter while knowing that my son can continue with his assignments. Although this is our first year using SOS, I anticipate using it in the years to come."

-Cindy P., SC

"It works well for those who want to homeschool but lead very busy lives!"

-Laura R., OH

"Affordable, customizable, biblical, fun!"

-Jodi H., FL

"SOS has the best tech support I have dealt with. I believe I have called in maybe 5 times to get questions answered. In every instance, I was talking to a live tech in 2-5 minutes. I love it! The best thing about SOS is the abilty to add custom classes. I had to add a special math class for my son. I typed in every unit and every lessson and assigned it. Did the same for PE. Love it!"

-Perry W., IN

"It is important for children to learn how to learn, and SOS provides the environment where that happens."

-Megan W., TX

"I used to spend most of my summers preparing for the school year. SOS did all the lesson planning for me in about an hour, and it does most of the grading. This allows me to quickly look through and see where my child is struggling, and then I can reassign work that she needs to spend more time on."

-Kimberly F., SC

"SOS is easy to use, has excellent content, is enjoyable for my kiddos, saves me time with automatic assignments/lesson plans/grading, and most importantly, is Biblically based."

-Debbie C., WA

"I can now work with all three girls without two waiting for their turn with the teacher. The day goes smoother for everyone. And the girls love SOS."

-Pamela C., FL

"The quality of the program for the the price is top notch. I have already recommended SOS to several friends."

-Yashira R., NC

"SOS is pretty easy to use and my son would rather use the computer than books and paper. It's also affordable and has pretty much everything a teacher and student would need all in one place. On trips, we don't have to lug a bunch of books around with us. And my son is learning!"

-Holly W., CO

"The material is excellent, and my kids love to learn on the computer. I also like that if I have questions or problems, there are people to answer my questions."

-Sharon G., NE

"I homeschool four children. SOS saves me a lot of time that I can spend with my family, rather than on lesson plans or grading."

-Janet S., AR

"My son is ADHD, and the computer format works well for him. It is easily customizable to any homeschooling schedule, and I am able to tailor the program to fit his needs and levels of ability."

-Misti H., TX

"SOS is the best thing that has happened in our homeschooling experience!"

-Teresa A., ND

"SOS helps us to stay on track so we do not get behind. We know exactly what needs to be done each day."

-Beth L., TN

"I love that the boys are learning to teach themselves! SOS has been good for them to see that the more they pay attention to what they are reading, the better their grades are. I also love the fact that I don't have to hover over them; they have more freedom now. And, most of all, I love that the computer grades most of it for me and that I can print out report cards, which is great for record-keeping. I have recommended it to several friends, and one of them is using it for the first time and loving it!"

-Peggy B., ON CA

"SOS has made our homeschooling experience great! We have time to be a family, and that is wonderful! My son loves it. He looks forward to school, and I no longer have to beg him to do his work."

-Adam B., IL

"SOS is an incredible Bible-based curriculum designed for even the most disorganized household! It's a complete value since the curriculum is reusable for multiple children. It is challenging and fun for my students, and they don't balk when I say, 'school time'!"

-Chelsea W., IL

"I absolutely love SOS. It has saved me. I am not sure how I would have homeschooled this year without it. My son has severe ADD. SOS keeps his attention focused on school the whole time so that I can focus on my other two children. This is the best program for an ADD kid I could have ever bought!"

-Barbara B., OK

"My son has been quite successful using SOS, even though he is dyslexic and somewhat behind in writing. The fact that I know he's being challenged with appropriate grade-level work and given the tools to succeed is very important. And the way the Bible is woven through the curriculum is awesome!"

-Karen N., PA

"I'm a homeschooler who uses SOS. My family had some tech problems with the curriculum, and your technicians helped us out. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your tech team is awesome! "

-Karen F., (from Facebook)

"If you're looking for a great program that does many of the administrative functions for you, SOS is it. I just set up the guidelines I want at the beginning of the school year, and then I'm set. The quality of the lessons and the graphics and games keep my children's interest. Sometimes they work ahead because they like it so much."

-Joyce O., CO

"The content of SOS is excellent. New concepts are explained well. It's easy for a parent to use, especially one not trained as a teacher."

-Pat T., MS
