Very Structured and Great Quality Homeschool Programs
Firstly, Abeka is a Christian focused homeschool/private school curriculum and if you want these ideals professionally instilled in your children, then Abeka is the way! We are only a few months into the accredited [DVD] K5 Abeka Academy (homeschool) program and this is also our first time homeschooling. The program is very structured and I am extremely impressed with the organization and quality of the teacher's manuals, the DVD lessons, and the student textbooks. The DVDs are in order of lessons and appear to be brand new with no problems on playback, thus far. Abeka's curriculum content is plenty thorough and we have not even used another competitor's online curriculum that we purchased, assuming it was necessary as supplementation. I also thought I would be leading most of the instruction, but after watching 20+ lessons of Mrs. Turner, the K5 teacher, I realized she is MUCH more qualified! So I am satisfied serving as teaching "assistant." I cannot speak to the grading system, yet, as we have not mailed anything off. I hope everything runs smoothly once we do! That said, my only complaint would be that I wish Abeka included more supplemental teacher/student materials and supplies for the lessons. They do sell items separately, online, but I do not enjoy digging through online stores. Ultimately, expect to spend roughly 4-6 hours per day for this program. If you do not like structure, then it may not be for you!
