Has anyone heard anything about Online Christian Education school?
Have you heard about the graceacademy.org? This is billed as a Christian Private (Online) school, that can be a big help for homeschoolers.
Has anybody heard anything about it, good or bad?
The one thing that worries me is that I don't see any Christian
personalities endorsing this venture, and the organization that they are affiliated with tutorbots.com has some previous bad experience with Online Charter Schools.
I have heard many reports about their previous venture into a similarwork which was brought down by the courts and said to be leaving students who were paid up with no instruction, because the teachers were not paid, yet they were -
However the owner claims that this was someone elses doing in work
against them.
Not knowing them personally I would say check into it prior to
investing but don't let other people decide for you - go with what you
feel. Here are some links to more info
