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.
