I couldn't be happier with Schoolio's grade 2 curriculum. The material is easy to use, fun, and engaging. I love how the lessons are open and go, and can really be done anywhere!
We love Schoolio! The curriculum is so easy to follow. My kids like that they can set their own pace and don’t feel overwhelmed. And most of all, the support from Schoolio is amazing!
I have been using Schoolio for grades 4 and 5 and it's been great. I took part in a 'consultation' meeting and learned a lot about their program, which gave me a lot of confidence.
