Switched–On
Schoolhouse is a comprehensive, Biblically-based curriculum that offers
computer-based learning for grades 3-12. SOS Provides an interactive learning
environment with 3-D animation, video clips, and other fascinating multimedia.
SOS provides automatic grading, record keeping, and lesson planning with the
click of a mouse, allowing teachers more time with their students.
AOP curriculum is written on the principle of "mastery learning." This means
that students truly master the content and skills of one unit before progressing
to the next. Different students learn at different speeds, thus mastery learning
ensures success by allowing each student to spend as much time as necessary in
one subject area prior to moving on.

"We Love
the SOS Program for (Elementary) Spanish. My 9 year old son
is doing it and he likes all the stories and the cute songs.
I am ordering (SOS Secondary) Spanish...The best thing I can
say about the Spanish on SOS is that it makes the kids want
to keep learning Spanish and that is really what it is all
about. We leave for Madrid Spain in Dec of this year and I
know they will be happy they have used this program." V.A.
