You need to check your State’s requirements for home schooling. Visit your local school district to find out the State’s home schooling requirement. Our local school district in Janesville, WI had assisted us.

The Wisconsin State has required us to have 6 subjects for 6th grade: Reading, Math, Science, Language Arts, History & Geography, and Health. We are also required to have 875 hours for the school term.

To comply the Wisconsin State’s requirements I used the SOS Bible subject as Reading, and later I purchased the SOS Health Quest (elective subject). For 1st semester the kids had PE and in 2nd Semester we used the Health Quest -- elective subject.

Captivate students! SOS 2010 is the perfect learning medium for a plugged-in generation just at home on the computer as in front of a book.

Switched-on Schoolhouse Demo – 2010 Home School Curriculum

Why I Love Switched-on Schoolhouse Curriculum

Watch the Switched-on Schoolhouse demo below and you’ll find out why we love the Switched-on Schoolhouse home school curriculum from Alpha Omega Publications.

Like Linda (in the video demo below) whose family loves using the Switched-on Schoolhouse (SOS) curriculum, my family also never regretted of using the SOS home school curriculum. Before I used the SOS curriculum I was completely clueless as to where and how to start home schooling.

When I started using this curriculum (2009) I never had  a school calendar and a lesson plan. Actually I never knew that we need a school calendar and a lesson plan until a few weeks ago after I read a few home schooling books at the library.  With Switched-on Schoolhouse you have the option to create them but I just have the default setting to do the work.

After the software installation the kids started their school work right away. The main thing why I like Switched-on Schoolhouse as a home school mom is — 95% of the kid’s school work is graded automatically. Also I don’t need to tell the students what subjects or lessons that they are going to work on. After they log in and click the link that says “Click to see your schoolwork” the today’s  lessons will pop up.

I know what it’s like grading kid’s school work. A few years ago I worked as a teacher’s aide and grading their school work was a pain. The school hired me just to do the grading.

Home schooling is a job so Switched-on Schoolhouse curriculum is really a Godsend home school program.

Watch the Switched-on Schoolhouse demo below and see what’s inside the Teacher and Student’s Homepage on 2010 Alpha Omega’s Home School curriculum.

If you need to enlarge the video, at the bottom edge of the video screen click this button → home school video button After watching the enlarged view, click the Esc key of your computer to go back to this page.

I hope this home school resource — the Switched-on Schoolhouse demo — will help you in your decision making on what curriculum to use for your home schooling.
