I haven't used it myself. I'm the one that listed it on the online classes resources. It's well known in my area. The families that have used it thought very highly of the classes. Just be aware these are asynchronous classes. What time you are will not matter. Whether or not you prefer live instruction does matter.

Do they use IEW or another curriculum? I've been curious about them.

[SoCal_Bear]

No, it's their own program. 

 

The online feedback from people posting to our local groups has been that it is a highly structured class. Josie (the instructor) gives a lot of personalized instruction and will receive a comprehension report on their skills and a grade. 

 

If you are looking for IEW, it's Shawn or Rebecca in our area that does live classes.
