The
Home Learning Institute
offers a
complete online curriculum
(both core and elective courses) with the parent functioning as the
teacher, and directing their child's education. As the recognized
teacher, the parent is free to include or exclude any parts of the
program, as well as add special assignments to enhance the course of
study.
The
Home Learning Institute
offers 3 curriculum package options to fit any budget:
DIGITAL E-TEXT PACKAGE:
Their Digital E-Text Package is their
most affordable package offering a full year curriculum in the 4 core
subjects for a $49 one- time fee per grade level. The package includes
downloadable Student E-Texts in Math, Language Arts, Science & Social
Studies. Also included in the package are downloadable Teacher's Manuals
which include the answers to the Student E-Texts. Most subjects include
180 days of lessons, making lesson planning a breeze! Grades K-12
packages are available.
ANYWHERE LEARNING SYSTEM PACKAGE:
The Anywhere Learning System is an
all-in-one online learning solution for grades 1-12. ALS offers over 120
online courses in grades 1-12 including Reading, Language Arts, Writing,
Math, Science, Social Studies, high school electives and college prep
courses. The Anywhere Learning System includes interactive online
lessons that help students' master state requirements. The ALS system
contains more than 5,500 lessons and more than 200,000 content pages of
research and objective-based, problem-solving courses. Most lessons are
automatically graded by the system, which saves parents valuable time
and ensures that students know their progress immediately. The Anywhere
Learning System package is a monthly subscription that includes up to 6
courses for $39.95/month.
AURORA LEARNING SYSTEM PACKAGE:
The Aurora Learning System contains
over 80 online courses in grades 5-12 covering core subjects and many
electives, including Honors courses for high school. Aurora courses are
self-paced for independent study. The Aurora lessons are
"research-based" and encourage critical thinking, thus preparing
students for college and real-life situations. Aurora courses are
aligned with state and national standards but not specifically
common-core aligned. The Aurora package also includes a separate Teacher
login for parents. The teacher login includes an electronic gradebook
and answer keys, which saves time when grading lessons. Optional teacher
services are available for families that wish to have the help of a
Certified Teacher. The Aurora package is a yearly subscription that
includes unlimited courses for $299 per year.
The flexibility of
Home Learning Institute
is certainly a plus--and homeschoolers appreciate flexibility! We also
appreciate having a little help, but remaining our child's teacher!
Home Learning Institute
offers both! And MORE! |
