AuntPol Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 These courses have been approved by the school for my daughter to use for Spanish 2:Obridge Keystone Apex Learning Obridge is the cheapest option by half ($350). They also seem to be the most flexible with scheduling. However they only go to Spanish 2 so if she wants to go higher, she will need to switch. We have one friend doing this for French and she is pleased. Keystone has the most levels and is only slightly more ($400). It uses the same textbook her school used for Spanish I. It is also rather flexible. Online reviews seem mixed Apex is the most expensive ($700) and least flexible. It is the one the school recommends and supposedly students at the school have done well with this (Compared to NCPVS which has been a failure for most kids at the school). It has an honors option which is helpful and goes to Spanish 3. What is the hive's experiences with these companies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuntPol Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 We went with Apex as that is what the school recommended. DAY 1 and it's horrible so far. Things wrong because accent mark is not there but no way to make accent. No syllabus of how things are graded, etc. No tech help. Review not helping for quiz at all. Not a good choice so far.

EndOfOrdinary Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 If it makes you feel any better, we left our charter when they switched to all online, but friends of ours. Did not. They use Apex and hate it as well. Similar glitches, no tech support, confusing set up. I'm sorry it has not been successful for you guys.
