Alpha Omega Homeschool Academy

The Alpha Omega Homeschool Academy is an excellent umbrella school program using the Alpha Omega LifePac, Horizons and Switched on Schoolhouse Homeschool curriculum.

What They Offer

The Alpha Omega Academy has courses from kindergarten through high school. They are assigned a “teacher” and even though they are doing this school work at home, students are required to have 180 school days of instruction for each school year like a public school. (This can include field trips, outside classes and lessons.)

Homeschool Curriculum Used

Children who enroll in the Alpha Omega Academy may choose from two homeschooling options:

• The LifePac and Horizons option is available for grades Kindergarten through 12th grade. This is a print-based work text curriculum that would be graded by the parent (who has an answer key) and sent into the academy.

• The Switched on Schoolhouse option is available for grades 3-12 and utilizes a computer-based homeschool curriculum that automatically grades and sends results to the Academy teacher.

Pros and Cons of the
Alpha Omega Academy

As with any umbrella program, the biggest benefit is that it can drastically reduce parental preparation and teaching time, which is a big plus for busy parents. It is also substantially less expensive than most private school or other online homeschool options.

The biggest downfall is the need to keep attendance and the lack of flexibility in what your child learns and when.

Our Experience with the Alpha Omega Academy

We used this curriculum for the first year after pulling our oldest child out of the traditional school system. It was a nice transistion because it still gave us flexiblity to plan our days, but also provided us with a supportive staff, report cards and the accountability we needed as first-time homeschoolers.

They also provided us with reading lists, planning and tracking tools and the fabulous LifePac curriculum.

We wanted to homeschool, but need some friendly help, and we found it there.
