Next Level Homeschool Reviews 

My 14 yo child enjoyed the Vertebrates 1 class. It is structured well, has opportunities for hands-on experience with the option to watch a video of someone else doing the hands-on activity. He was challenged in a good way. My only issue is around registration and the inability to easily register for multiple classes. Independent classes are separate from regular classes and when you click to register for a regular class, you have to select all the classes you want to register for but doesn't open a new window making it challenging to go back to descriptions. These are all simple technical fixes that would make the user experience better.

My daughter took Vertebrate Zoology Session 1 as her first high school science class while homeschooling. She always made it the first class that she wanted to accomplish each week, said it didn’t even feel like school because it was so much fun, and is really looking forward to her Vertebrate Zoology Session 2 class. She’s really excited about the field trip to Panama but will need to wait until next year when she’s a senior. Thank you, Mrs. Middlebrooks, for sharing your knowledge and passion for science!

Marine Zoology: Invertebrates Part 1 is an amazing class. The learning presentations really resonate with my child. The assignments allow for tons of creativity for the student to learn the way they do best. Clear communication on expectations and grading. A 10/10 experience for our family!!

Excellent curriculum. Good assignments. An engaging choice for homeschoolers needing flexibility. The pacing and deadlines are pre-set, but classes can be viewed at any time before assignments are due. Because my child travels in the car a lot, learning via Next Level Homeschool is frequently done on computer via hotspot on roadtrips. Great subjects & enthusiastic lectures with interactive assignments. Recommend. The only reason for 4-stars is difficulty communicating with teachers. We tried to get a letter of recommendation after student attended 6 classes and were meant with deafening silence! Also, they don't keep records of attendance or grades, so make sure to keep your own records! Grade documents for a class are only available within a 10-day window, so download grades, comments, registration, etc. & save right away for proof (if you ever need it) that your child took the class & did well! Also points are taken off for a discussion missed or lateness and an otherwise A+ can slide into an A- with one slip-up by the student, so stay on top of every assignment especially discussion posts. Otherwise, we remain very happy with Next Level Homeschool for the breadth of offerings, format for independent learning, and exceptional science curriculum. We are grateful for Mary Middlebrook & crew!

My daughter just finished the Harry Potter Genetics class with Next Level Honeschool. I was very pleased with how the material was presented, what was taught, and the feedback that was given. My daughter enjoyed the class and learned a lot. Thank you for a great first experience with Nect Level Homeschool!

Mary Middlebrook's Harry Potter Genetics class was engaging, informative, and challenging. Our student loved being able to choose a difficult level, to be graded, and to challenge himself. He learned a new teaching style, tested his ability to learn the content, master the canvas platform, and learn from a new teacher. We will be back for more!

The class is very thorough and educational. There is a lot of information packed into the course and Mary is a no-nonsense, engaging and funny teacher. "Sea" for yourself!

This was our son's first homeschool experience/class and it gave him the confidence he needed to feel structured and productive in this work! He loved the open talk spaces (and made new friends there!), and loved the content. The assignments were carefully curated and really interesting and diverse! We recommend this class entirely!

Our son loves the format of NextLevel science, with powerpoints he can go through at his own pace, and a variety of options to choose from, when doing assignments each week. He enjoys the occasional humor in the lessons. I love the fact that there are deadlines for projects, weekly quizzes, and I love that Mary does the grading.

Marine Biology 101! I cannot recommend this intro class enough. My child was interested in Marine Biology, after taking this class. He cannot be happier. The materials kept his interest and the homework/projects were so fun!

Taking Marine Biology 101 was really fun and the classes were really interesting and engaging. It didn't go into as much depth as I had hoped but I think that comes in the later more advanced classes.

High school biology is my daughter's first class with Next Level Homeschool. So far she is enjoying it and learning so much information. We look forward to the rest of the class.

My two daughters took a whole year of Marine Biology (2024-2025) and then the oldest went on to take High School Biology(now 2025-2026). She also took a persuasive writing class(2025). They both learned so much and I can’t say enough positive things about the creative format for assignments. The instructors are responsive and helpful. I will continue to recommend and utilize NextLevel for year to come!

My daughter was enrolled in the Marine Biology 101 class and it far exceeded my expectations! This is our 9th year homeschooling and this class has had her more engaged and eager to learn than anything else we have ever done. She loved the structure of the class and she had so much fun with the projects. She begged to sign up for the next class too. Great experience for my budding marine biologist! Highly recommend!

We signed up for the Earth Science 1 class. While our schedule wasn't ready for the firm due dates, I really loved the design of the class and the note taking skills that were developed naturally because of its design. We will definitely be returning to Next Level Homeschool when we reach the higher grade levels.

Next Level Classes provide an impressive amount of material and allow you to adapt lessons to fit your child’s learning style. The program manages to be both challenging and enjoyable, keeping students engaged while still pushing them to grow. I also love that the teacher takes science related field trips around the world to share firsthand information and experiences; it makes the lessons come alive in such a unique way.

It was very fun! I enjoyed the materials and there were helpful resources for both navigating the course and the platform that it was on. I liked the choice in assignments, the quiz was very well put together, and I especially enjoyed the discussions!

Thank you so much for the wonderful online lessons you have provided on science subjects over the years in which my daughter was home educated. They were exactly as promised: rigorous, flexible, entertaining, and in depth, with the option for project-based activities, if desired. Also, they - and the wonderful programmes presented by David Attenborough & Iain Stewart, which were watched for years prior to discovering your courses at the age of 11 - inspired an awareness of the importance of protecting the environment that is lasting and has taken her into the future, and has me on my toes too!

It had become harder to satisfy her curiosity about the world in a way that respected her particular learning style, and that was not dry, mechanically-presented and uninspiring (like a lot of the GCSE or iGCSE material). Your approach was more in line with other favourite information-providers, such as Kurzgesagt, Veritasium, Crashcourse and Khan Academy. She has gone on to gain a place in Cambridge University, and is very grateful for the inspiration gleaned from numerous science courses with you along the route, including: marine biology, oceanography, biology, chemistry, fractions and earth sciences.

Next Level Homeschool gives students in depth understanding of all the subjects they teach!

My son completed the year long Marine Biology course and trip to Panama and I highly recommend!
The course itself was a great format for us. Canvas was easy to use and perfect to go at your own pace. The course was very in depth and the choices for assignments felt inclusive.
I highly recommend Next Level Homeschool for their engaging and rigorous content that is approachable. I'm looking forward to my son trying more classes.
