Such a fabulous alternative to public school. Happier child and grades reflect this! Went from a miserable teen in the public school system with nearly straight F's to a happy teen with straight A's. A night and day difference. If you have been contemplating the switch.... Don't. This has been the best decision ever! She used to spend almost 7 hours in school learning very little. Now she spends about 2.5 hours a day in online school and then completely done for the day. I have watched some of the lessons with her and the way the online teachers carry out their lessons, it is easy to understand and comprehend.

A+++ Great Program!!!

I was looking for a good homeschooling program for my son. I looked at many different options, but the one that stood out was Acellus. It was easy to get my son started, gave us a lot of options, and gave us the freedom to homeschool at a pace that made sense for him. Couldn’t be happier with the program. Thank you Acellus!

False Advertising and Horrible Customer Service

Acellus advertised a Unit 7 for AP Computer Science Principles to prepare students for the required AP project—but the unit didn’t exist. After FIVE calls and emails, I was finally told the course description was “outdated,” with no apology or real solution offered. When I requested a partial refund for the wasted AP exam fee, they responded by threatening a “full refund” that would immediately delete my daughter’s nearly completed semester of work.

The patent/customer service team is amazing. I actually got to speak to a human and they walked me right thru my questions. My child's grades are great and she is loving to be able to work at her own pace.
Great program.
