“I would highly recommend them to any family even if you do not homeschool and want to enrich your child’s public education this is a great resource for that as well. This is a MUST have for homeschooling families everywhere.” ~ Crystal R.
“Other companies could learn a thing or two from SHT! The selection of courses is mind blowing. There are options for every interest a child (and their mom) can think up. But I think my favorite part of it, aside from how easy it is to navigate, is that if a particular course doesn’t work for us, I can simply change it till I find one that does!” ~ Stacie S.
