Looking at it as a possible alternative to Christian Liberty. Any thoughts?

Are you talking about curriculum or actually doing school through them?

I used it for 7th and 8th grade (the yrs i was hs'ed)

the first yr we only used them, it was ok, but their math was lacking

next yr mom switched to saxon math, dropped bible, and used the rest. it worked out pretty well for us i think

We've only used the Kindergarten LIFEPAC Language Arts, and while we liked it OK, I wanted to get away from workbooks (except for Math), so we're doing Weaver next year.

We have used Alpha Omega SOS for several years. I find it to be challenging. We like it and it logs and grades most the work for you.

I give it a B+

What I have used of theirs seemed to be pretty practical and thorough without being too tedious. :) I've used SOS in the past and ordered a few individual social studies and science lifepacs for next year. They're only $3 each.

I'm using the Math lifepacs with my daughter. I got the whole set on sale for 15 dollars (down from $75!) I bought it "just in case" and am so glad I did! She finished Math-U-See foundations by December, and I couldn't afford to buy the next book, lol. I thought it would last 2 years, which is how I convinced myself to spend that much money on it in the first place =)

Sarah is using SOS. I just posted my thoughts about it on the thread about "tell me about your curriculum."
