Annsaya Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 My boss' kids have been studying online through Calvert Homeschool. So far, the kids are satisfied and used to Calvert curriculum. However, Calvert is closing. Do you know of any school that offers the same type of curriculum or atleast close to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smfmommy Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Did AOP buy Calvert? That's not what it used to look like. BJU and Abeka have video based lessons though not quite fully online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you recommend more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a web site that lists many online homeschool options. https://homeschool-planning.com/online-homeschool/ We haven't used many online curriculum, so can't give suggestions.

Clunky platform, though. The new print Calvert seems to be based off of AOP Life Pacs and The Biggest Books of Math Practice off of AOP Horizons. I don't see teacher's books for TBBMP, though. Too bad. https://monarch.aop.com/?_gl=1*wacrje*_ga*MTMzMDE1NDkyLjE3MTcxODg2Nzg.*_ga_GTDEVL26W1*MTcxNzI2MTY3Ny4yLjAuMTcxNzI2MTY3Ny4wLjAuMA.. Miacademy/Always Ice Cream/Clever Dragons for K-8 is very good. https://miacademy.co/#/ MiaPrep for high school, too! https://miaprep.com/#/ HTH! Thanks for these.

The rep told me the print PK-5 materials are still going to be around for the forseeable future. This all happened more than five or six years ago, but as I understand it, BOTH companies were bought out by another one who then consolidated materials and platforms.

I completely missed that when it happened, probably since I didn't use either outside of a Child's History of the World. Thank you for the information.

***** Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 A friend of mine used Calvert years ago and I remember how much great information it had in it. Why did they sell? For money, or was enrollment down? One of our online homeschools in our area had used it for years. I will miss Calvert as it was for this generation of homeschoolers My daughter used Monarch for a semester for history. It was not vigorous at all. Everything that fit the topic for the day fit on a 2 PAGE-SPREAD, with questions to follow. You just can't cram history into 2 pages per topic, I'm sorry! Grrr. We were glad we had gotten it as a free trial period, I would not have paid for it. I hope AOP does not do the same with Calvert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneGG Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I can’t think of an exact secular equivalent to Calvert. Disover! Might be an option although I believe it’s “neutral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
