I'm using this to homeschool my 1st grader and I love it. The courses are all planned out, there is a daily schedule so you don't get behind, you can long the attendance at the end of a lesson rather then logging in and adding it separately.
Also, they have live class sessions often so she is able to join a class with other kids and have fun. The price compared to other places I checked out is relatively lower also. Overall I'm very happy with this school for my daughter. And as far as high-school goes I did this program myself the last 2 years of school and had no trouble except contacting the teachers.
You have to be very self motivated to do this and put in the effort. As long as you don't slack off and think a teacher will be walking you through every step you'll do just fine! You will jump through endless rings and struggle the whole way. Enrollment was a huge issue, none of the employees seemed to know what courses I needed so they gave their personal opinion.
Fast forward to now, I'm supposed to be graduating. Turns out I needed a fine arts course that nobody told me about, and I had been calling the school throughout the year to make sure I was still on course to graduate.
This school is only concerned with how much they can get out of your wallet. The quality of the courses is a joke, ALL of the print coursework is filled with mis-prints and errors. It is very difficult to find teacher information and contact teachers.
If I had the chance to redo my senior year, I would've stayed in public school. I think this online school is awful. They ask you to do over the top project that is just busy work for students.
Going from be taught in school to this homeschool program was an awful experience for me. I felt like i was drowned in school work all the time and most of the time the work was no where related to the class. All of the print courses are misspelled and graded incorrectly. English is by far the most difficult, the teacher requires every assignment prior to the current submission to also be re-submitted at the time of the current one.
Not to mention ALL of the work given, English is packed wayyyyy too full of endless essays and endless readings. Wow, I am amazed by all the negative reviews. We opted for Keystone when our 7th grader was bored in a local private school. She had already skipped two grades there and we were afraid the boredom would lead to behavior issues. She was also being bullied because she was younger than many of her classmates. With Keystone, she was challenged and definitely interested in what she was learning.
She went at her own pace, choosing to take classes year round. She has had all A's and one B so far. She is now 18 and starts her senior year next fall. She has never felt that she missed out on learning by going to Keystone and when the pandemic came and classes went online, she had a huge advantage over others because of doing her high school at Keystone.
She made friends through Keystone with other kids all over the world and they were starting at that time to try to bring people together in person in regions. They have clubs, chats, and interactions in some classes. Overall, we had a great experience with Keystone and would choose it again.
Every school and homeschool situation has its challenges. Keystone was easy to work with overall. Overall, the teachers were responsive, took time to get to know her personally and we made her call each teacher at the beginning of the class so she was more than just a screen name to them. They are required to respond to students emails in a certain amount of time. If they don't, then report them just like most parents would in a regular school if the teacher there wouldn't help their kid.
I have my two children enrolled at Keystone. I was glad to find an online school with flexible school hours and can be done at their own phase.
Since we are in the military, it is the only option because we often move in different country. However, it puts too much anxiety to my children and me as it has loads of school work! Essay here, essay there. I also have to sit down with my 7th grade students to help him with his essay as it is ridiculously stressful. The load work and essay standard is to high that mostly used higschool. They expect a child coming from gradeschool to write a minimum of 5 paragraph essay!!
Not only that, there are some class that requires 2 homework essay in one unit!! I feel so bad for my children as they spent most of their day doing school work and are so drain by the end of the day!
To the point that they were having anxiety every single day and my 8th grader cries often! This should not be the case as children should enjoy learning and to have a flexibility to have fun! I am shocked and so disappointed. I enrolled my niece and we are only 3 weeks in and have NO help.
This is going to put her behind. I guess we will have to ride this out. I am devastated. Though basically like all these reviews say, SO much work, not enough explanation, bad support, and mental fatigue. There was a time while I was still in the keystone prison where I would cry daily and everyday my motivation would go down. Worst school ever. There is so much work in one course that it is so stressful and makes me have anxiety through the roof.
I will never come back to this school and I truly mean that. They are terrible. This is a terrible school, In supposed to be a freshman but this school lost a lot of my work I completed and have not fixed it.
I felt that the material was very outdated, and the computer-graded quizzes contained so many typos and missing graphs that I constantly received poor grades on them even when I understood the material.
When I tried to contact the teacher to get these fixed, there was no response. I took ten other AP courses and exams in high school and received a 5 on each of them, but for the AP Stats exam I received a 3. I would not recommend this course. If you are thinking about using Keystone high school recovery credits, don't do it. The credits will not transfer and Keystone will not provide a transcripts which is what is needed to transfer the credit.
Think about it this way, my Texas high school rejected the credit, as a last option I called to inquire about transferring the credits to their own program Keystone online high school, and they will not accept their own credits? The Keystone School is a private, tuition-based online school.
