Our school uses Switched–On Schoolhouse for our CD curriculum program.  SOS is a comprehensive, Biblically based curriculum that offers computer-based learning for grades 3-12.   It features 3-D animation and cutting edge multimedia. Students finish lessons by completing various questions, activities, and quizzes, all through a CD-Rom program. 

 

Low Tuition:

CD curriculum requires a yearly payment structure because the full year's curriculum is shipped.  Tuition includes curriculum fees for five core subjects, achievement test, and academic advisor support.  Additional subjects $150 each. 

 

3rd-8th Grade Tuition Fees:  Full Year: $902
High school students are normally required to use our Online Program with Teacher Support to ensure assistance with upper concepts is provided.

 

Effective and Efficient Structure:

SOS Provides an interactive learning environment with 3-D animation, video clips,

The curriculum is written on the principle of "mastery learning." This means that students truly master the content and skills of one unit before progressing to the next. Different students learn at different speeds, thus mastery learning ensures success by allowing each student to spend as much time as necessary in one subject area prior to moving on.

Most of the grading is automatic so parents only have to grade subjective questions. Parents and students can leave messages for one another and parents may find their work cut in half with the record keeping and lesson planning features. SOS offers much flexibility so that you can customize learning to fit students’ educational needs. Students are guided through the lessons at their own pace, giving them the chance to master concepts before moving on to more challenging lessons. There are approximately 130 lessons per subject. Five core subjects — Bible, Language Arts, Math, History & Geography, and Science — are available for grades 3-12. A number of electives are also available such as Health, Spanish, and Consumer Math.

One advantage of the online method versus the CD curriculum:  With our Online Academy, occasional subjective scoring is handled by our teachers.  With CD curriculum, the parent handles the subjective scoring.
