My 13 yr old in 8th grade was having a serve time with anxiety manifesting itself as many various physical symptoms. It was advised that we remove her from physical school and switch her to virtual. I didn’t like the schools virtual platform cause I know way to track what she actually did for the day. And we were at the mercy of the teachers to eventually grade an assignment and post the grade. In the past she has learned to cheat the system and I needed something that was more fluid. Started searching national options and came across Acellus. We thank our lucky stars everyday that I stumbled across it. My daughter loves it. And grades and assignments happen instantaneously. It’s really quite fabulous. The best part is that if she isn’t grasping a concept she isn’t just left in the dust while moving on to the next lesson. This system adapts to her to assure she is proficient in each task/lesson before moving forward to the next task. She can’t cheat and she absolutely loves it. She loves how fast she has been able to go through her classes. We are 3 weeks in and 2 of her classes she has already done more than 1 semester’s worth. I’ve never seen her this excited about school. Worth every penny. Looking forward to rolling into her freshman year classes in a matter of months at the rate she is going. If she is having fun and learning I’ll happily let her go as fast as she wants through her classes. She will for sure graduate early at this rate.

Please this program is crap. The foundation of the program has a wonderful idea but the execution of the program is horrible. For students that are nonreaders or beginners this is not the program. MOST OF THE MATERIAL IS MUST READ. I love the video’s very informative but when you get to the next steps some questions are not correctly written and or is a must read for parents. The questions seem to be more involved rather than baseline on subject matter and age understanding. The sight has the ability to do more with just a click of some buttons from Acellus but I doubt that will happen. ANOTHER THING …. Pay attention to attendance because I have been on with my children personally and it logs that they did not do work. This is crucial to children possible going to return to in person learning for attendance verification. Good luck parents but we do get what we pay for. On another not this is a Diploma earning school for high schoolers….this is the only one I have come across like this making it much easier to attend colleges across the world… there is also other Ideal Schools which is also online but comes with a bigger price tag!! But is a LIVE TEACHER

This is my third year of using this app and I hope it’s my last. I’m taking one class on the app and it’s only because we had a hard time ordering my Course work from the other school we switched to. To be honest, I was a little disappointed about it. The lessons are either too easy and boring that I can’t focus on what they are saying or way too complex. They give you questions after each lesson that are random and aren’t based on the key topics of each lesson. When you take a complex lesson, the skills you learned aren’t reinforced with the right questions. I always had passing grades, but never felt like I was getting it. When taking the exam and practice exams, the questions are random too. Sure they have to do with the topics you learned but the questions on the pretest are entirely different from the questions on the actual exam. Isn’t the practice test supposed to help you know what to expect on the exam? How is it practicing for the exam if the questions aren’t related? If you do well on the pretest, you can still fail the exam because of this. Sometimes the questions are something that wasn’t even taught in any lessons. And when teaching the lessons, they never say “this is very important as it could be on the exam.” Like most teachers everywhere else do. While it may seem like a amazing program at first, it isn’t the greatest out there for its price. Your child will end up bored, annoyed, and with no knowledge of the things taught.

I recently just finished 6th grade and I’m in 7th. I love this a lot. I finished 6th grade within a few months! In public school you have to do semesters and stuff like that. But here you can work at your own pace and you don’t have rude teachers rushing you around like it would be in public school. I highly recommend this school Edit: I’m in 8th grade now and the program is still pretty good but I feel like some of the stuff that they are teaching is kind of irrelevant to me. Especially in social studies and language arts. I don’t really see what’s the point in learning about Shakespeare, and most of the time I don’t even watch the videos because I already know what the answers are. In social studies it’s just really boring, and the teacher explains the lesson in a very boring way. My attention span doesn’t last very long so I get bored really easily, but I probably won’t have to worry about this anymore because I’m going to return to public school after I’m done with grade 8. Anyways, the school would probably be better for kids that are good at paying attention unlike me. Another thing that I wanted to mention was how hard it is to keep my grades at all A’s. If I get a B on an exam then my grade all of the sudden goes down to a B like seriously? I got a good grade on the test so why is my grade going down!?
