    I'm thinking about trying this online program for my 7th & 9th graders next year. Has anyone here used it? My kids love doing school on the computer and this looked more interesting.

    We used it for science this year. My 10th grader did Physical Science. It was easy for me, because the program does everything. And the lessons did lead my high schooler to ask more questions and to go in search of answers. I'm not sure how complete it is, because she finished it in only five or six months. Maybe she's just a quick learning...or maybe it isn't very challenging -- I didn't sit through all the lessons, so I can't say. Either way, it suited our needs for this year. Homeschoolbuyersco-op offers a discount on it if you purchase a specific time slot through them, so the price was good.
