Hear from Homeschool Families
"We were already homeschooling when we found OpenEd, and it has been the perfect complement to our approach. The reimbursement for curriculum and educational materials has been incredibly helpful, and my children love the online clubs where they connect with other students who share their interests."
—Christine, OpenEd parent
"We have loved the flexibility that we get through OpenEd. As long as they are making steady progress, they're fine. It's okay if they're in one grade in one subject and in an entirely different one in another. This perfectly supports our personalized homeschool approach."
—OpenEd parent
