MG39 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Hi, I've been reading a lot of posts on this site that are very helpful so I decided to sign up. I am looking for an online course for my 3rd grader and it's surprisingly difficult. He just finished an Elementary study skills class on The Potters School and he loved the structure and did well in the class (loved the teacher feedback on homework) but they only start at 4th and 5th grade so no 3rd grade courses. Ideally, we wouldn't have to go from program to program to fill out the curriculum but some programs like Freedom Project Academy are full. We had a program lined up, ready to go but due to some circumstances that program will now not work for us hence the last minute change up. Welcome to any suggestions - we have done the traditional homeschool where I teach all the subjects but I'm looking for a little relief where he can work with other material and I can listen in and work as well instead of giving him my full attention the entire day. Also, I would like for him to have the satisfaction of someone other than mom grading his homework and giving him feedback. Both are equally important. Thanks for your suggestions and as I search I will also be compiling resources as well for future searches that need lower elementary assistance.

BabyRuthStudent Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I'd love to hear recommendations as well. I'd never heard of Freedom Project Academy or The Potters School, but they both look awesome. What was the program that didn't work out? Is it something similar?

BabyRuthStudent Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Did you see this thread? It was started in 2013 and is mostly geared toward middle school and high school offerings, but some of the programs listed also have elementary options.

Guest Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Athena’s Academy and Online G3 both have classes grouped by skill level, including some for about grade 3. Both are starting fall semesters very soon-August 12, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyRuthStudent Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I'm amazed at how the prices for these classes have climbed over just the last couple of years. Is it because people are using public charter school funds to do it? Or there are really that many people who can afford to pay $700 a year per online elementary school course? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
