    Been using Abeka since K5. Almost time for Grade 4 now! My daughters have embraced it, and I feel like they know more at their age than I did!
    I do believe you have to have some disciplined children in order to stay focused, but we (mom and dad) made sure of that from the beginning, so it has all been a blessing. :D Thanks for this review! Always good to know what all is out there. :)

    My kids hated Abekka. They felt like it was too much busy work, and they didn't like the videos. We have been working through EP for the last 2 years instead. Now that my son is in HS, I am re-evaluating. He wants to go back to Power Homeschool, but I have concerns because of how the homeschool community was treated by them a year or so ago. Going to look into Monarch though, so thanks!!

    • @AmandaMelrose
      @AmandaMelrose  Před 5 měsíci

      I think Monarch could be a good option! More self directed than something like Abeka. I've never been a big fan of power homeschool. But there's also Mia Prep of T4L for secular options you could check out too!

    My kids have been doing Abeka for a few years now. It really is a one stop shop and great for those that don’t want to teach several different subjects to each child. I’m not a teacher so this is why I chose this. In fact, I’m terrible at even tutoring. But it is a lot of work. My oldest is in 5th grade and having to do so many book reports this school yr and had his 1st research paper due couple weeks ago. Wow it was a lot! And not doing well in math. So I like that you went over the other different homeschooling options. I’m gonna have to figure it out soon. This school yr is almost over and have to think what to do for the next school yr.

    • @AmandaMelrose
      @AmandaMelrose  Před 2 měsíci

      Abeka can be very intensive. Have you considered an online Christian school instead?

  • @cynthiarobinson-vh3io
    @cynthiarobinson-vh3io Před 2 měsíci +1

    Great video! I'm definitely looking for something where I am not the teacher for my 5 grader. 😅 But of course help where needed. Also something flexible, and we are not at the computer for 6 hours

    • @AmandaMelrose
      @AmandaMelrose  Před 2 měsíci

      I hope you are able to try some of these programs and find something you like.

      Is monarch accredited?

    • @AmandaMelrose
      @AmandaMelrose  Před 7 měsíci +1

      @cliffsimms8520 Monarch is an online homeschooling program, not a school. Only a school can be accredited. But Monarch is owned by AOP, the company behind the popular Horizons and LIFEPAC curriculums.

    Out of all the online homeschool programs that you have seen/reviewed for high school, which one(s) contain the most video content for learning? And of those, which ones seem more "age appropriate" for high school: not boring, and as my daughter would say, "Not cringy."

    • @AmandaMelrose
      @AmandaMelrose  Před 24 dny +1

      A lot of the videos are bad! Study.com is good even the younger grade videos are not bad. Mia Prep might also be a good choice. Stay away from power homeschool, I even cringe watching some of those. They're probably 20 years old.

    Can they make friends on Easy peasy? Is it interactive at all with other kids? Thank you soo much for your reviews, they are soo helpful!

    Hi Amanda, I"ve just found your channel. What about Northstar Academy? We've just started homeschool for my 9th grade son. Any feedback from you would be great.

    • @AmandaMelrose
      @AmandaMelrose  Před 3 měsíci

      This is an online school, not a homeschooling program, so it's a little different. I plan to do a part two of my 10 online schools for high school video. There are a lot to choose from!

    • @AmandaMelrose

      Easy Peasy or Monarch.

    Could you tell me more about Abeka?thank you

    • @AmandaMelrose
      @AmandaMelrose  Před 8 měsíci +3

      Sure. I do have a full review on my channel. It's a Christian curriculum that you can buy the books for and teach yourself. Or you can sign up for Abeka Academy where you will still need the books but instead of you teaching it, your child will watch videos and follow along in their books. The videos are in real classrooms and your kids watch as if they were part of the classroom (but they are pre-recorded videos not live). Check out my full review if you want to know more. Or they do have a free trial of the videos on their website.

      Abeka is tedious.

    • @colleenmeade-hayslip3757
      @colleenmeade-hayslip3757 Před 4 měsíci +1

      Abeka absolutely does not have to be done digitally. You have the option of buying textbook only kits or single books. This is the option I chose. It gave me complete freedom of choosing the level I thought would work for my children and how much work I wanted them to do. However, this does put the parent in charge of teaching, grading, and documenting (which I preferred anyway). I think there are better science and history curricula than Abeka, but their math and language arts were the best (for our family) and fun art programs. It is pricey, but worth it.

  • @lygiadavis1893
    @lygiadavis1893 Před 4 měsíci +1

    I’m new. Doing research. Is it necessary for homeschool to be accredited? What happens if it’s not? I really liked the easy peasy. My son is in 8th grade. We can’t have him in public school anymore. But how does it affect his future with not an accredited school?

    • @AmandaMelrose
      @AmandaMelrose  Před 4 měsíci +1

      For 8th grade it absolutely does not matter. But if you are in the US and he's planning to attend college, you'll need to be sure before 9th grade that he's not planning to ever go back to public school for high school. If you're not sure, then for 9th grade and beyond, it will be easier to switch back to public school if you use an accredited program. But please verify this with the high school. If, however, you're 100% certain that you'll be homeschooling all of high school, then no, you do not need an accredited school, because YOU will be creating the transcripts and issuing the diploma. Hope this helps!

    • @AmandaMelrose
      @AmandaMelrose  Před 4 měsíci +1

      And I just want to add, colleges, jobs, the military, all will accept your homeschool transcripts. Only in a few rare cases would he ever need to consider getting a GED but it's not likely.

    What about the good and beautiful?

    • @AmandaMelrose
      @AmandaMelrose  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Can that be done online? I haven't looked at that one much.

    @cliffsimms8520 Před 7 měsíci +2

    Is monarch accredited?

    • @AmandaMelrose
      @AmandaMelrose  Před 7 měsíci +4

      Monarch is not a school, it's an online homeschooling program, which is basically a curriculum, and a curriculum cannot be accredited. Only a school can be accredited. Some curriculums that say "accredited" really mean they come from a school that is accredited.

    • @camialane
      @camialane Před 6 měsíci

      It's a great Christian curriculum, but it's not an online program.

    • @AmandaMelrose
      @AmandaMelrose  Před 5 měsíci

      I was just showing the ones that are online (or mostly online).
