There was a great selection of courses available and the registration process was easy. After lots of research, we decided on Spanish, English I, Algebra I, Outdoor Education and a Dave Ramsey Personal Finance Class.
Overall our experience was wonderful. The teachers were knowledgeable, caring and offered a lot of support. Our 9th grader had access to a ton of resources and we did everything on our own homeschool schedule (including vacations). It freed up a lot of time for me to focus on the other children and allowed me to offer a great science and history program scaled to my middle schooler and high schooler.
Looking back on our 2015-2016 school year we all felt very accomplished.
If you are in a similar situation, check out FLVS. The courses are free and you still maintain your homeschool status. I have found FLVS easy to use and they work very hard at meeting the unique needs of homeschool families. Thanks to the success of our 2015-2016 year with FLVS, I'm having my daughter try the online course world with a keyboarding class that is offered for middle school students.
I love having so many resources and options as a homeschooler!
What is your experience with virtual classes? What do you do to teach mixed ages?
