Schoolio has a great digital platform and incredible customer service! They are quick to respond and extremely supportive. I would highly recommend using schoolio!

Schoolio customer service is absolutely phenomenal! They are so responsive, understanding, and fantastic at fixing any issues.

Our family loves the curriculum, and the digital platform has been one of the best we've tried!

CUSTOMER SERVICE: 5 stars for schoolio's customer service - I've spoken to Irah a few times and she's been super patient and helpful. If it were not for her, I'd have given up on schoolio so long ago!

OFFERING: 4 stars..I took away a star because I felt the website and categories of offers are confusing to understand and navigate around especially for beginners. I also feel the monthly pricing is costly to sustain compared with other homeschool platforms and resources available, but maybe because my child is just starting grade 1, perhaps it would be an okay cost/investment for the future.

I'm on the free trial and I wish some subjects offered more content but overall pretty impressed with the direction that schoolio is taking in building a curriculum to best fit different family needs.

Some features I thought to be outstanding are: ability to add in one's own subject/unit/lessons as well as adding in emotional lessons and things like financial literacy. Kudos to the team for thinking about courses that are not available or taught much in public schools.

Keep up the good work!

I absolutely love schoolio because it focuses on real world, current needs for my stepson. He wants to learn business and the financial education schoolio offers is fantastic. Most schools don't teach kids about money, investing, balancing a budget, etc. I also like the shorter more focused approach so that retention is high. This program is perfect for my 8th grader who is very active in a national basketball club.

Schoolio responded quickly to my questions and helped me figure out the system easily. Looking forward to using this company for school in the fall.

Edit: I have taken my review from a 1 star experience to a 4 star experience. Since writing the original review I have had the opportunity to speak with the CEO Sathish Bala personally. My concerns were noted, heard and referred “up”. I sincerely appreciated the respectful and clear communication I had with Sathish; and it is clear that he wants to and will do better when he receives constructive feedback.

He put people before policy.

I received my refund (gratefully) and I have been informed that the way the emails are labeled has been changed to reflect more clarity in message (and so that someone doesn’t mistake them as I did). I am impressed with Sathish as a person, and with his leadership. It takes a lot of courage to honestly hear and respond to negative feedback. He also stood up for his employees and I respected that too.

I hope they continue to do well in the future and offer an affordable option for homeschooling Canadians.

I left the review at a 4 star as I was not able to use any of the resources and so cannot speak to how they are completed or how the communication is while using the program long term. However, I would be very willing to give them a chance because of the way this was handled by the leadership.

Thank you.

Original review.
I don’t recommend this company. I missed the emails reminding me to cancel the 7 day free trial. When I got the email that my subscription had begun I immediately emailed to ask for a refund (within hours of the purchase). The company stood behind their “policy” for no refunds indicating that they give parents enough time to cancel with their emails.

Their emails came to my inbox not from “schoolio” but from “Lindsey” and have the look of so many other spam/promotional emails. Because of this, I completely missed the deadline to cancel. This seems deceptive and sneaky.

I expect this kind of “policy before people” attitude from mass-developed-third-party subscription apps but not from a company that is dedicated to working with parents and educating our kids. I am shocked by the attitude and I’d like to warn other parents thinking of signing up to NOT do it. This disrespectful attitude is is likely to permeate and show up in other areas.

Do better Schoolio!
Try putting people before profits and people before policy. And, have better and clearer communication.

This was easy, clear, simple. Resouces came, beautifully printed on color and bound. The curriculum meets the grade-level standards. Perfect!

We love how easy this program is to use forvour 3rd grader. It's taking all the planning out of my equation and my homeschooling life much easier.
Their customer service is amazing and quick to answer and help when in need. Our son is really enjoying the lessons and hasn't complained. We are newbies with the online platform and so far give it 5++++ stars. It covers all coure subjects and you can pick their paid electives if you choose. I highly recommend you trying their free trail ans see for yourself!

I ordered books to be printed I have never been so disappointed and unsatisfied with a product or service. If I could ask for money back I would. My son doesn't have a computer which is why I ordered physical books, I received a cheaply made copy which could have created from Kinkos!

I was new to homeschooling but Schoolio helped me find the right units. The material is well prepared and easy to follow. My son even attended some virtual lessons.

I love that schoolio's lessons are open and go, with many additional ideas for projects, experiments, and media to watch to help enforce the lesson.

I love the idea of the digital platform, and that it follows the provincial curriculum. I hoped to use it with my grade 7 child who is in school, but has not had a teacher in 12 weeks. I need a turnkey curriculum source to keep her on schedule without a lot of summer catch up.

We started with the grade 7 math module, but unfortunately the answers are incorrect for many of the math problems. So it was needlessly frustrating for my daughter and impacted her confidence. Apparently they know about this issue, but were not able to give me an update as to when it would be corrected. Without that we can't continue. I have to be able to trust that the supplied answers are correct. Otherwise it takes twice as long as I work through the problem myself to see what is going wrong.

I also think the space theme is a little juvenile for grade 7. It would be nice if they also updated this as the grades progress.

Schoolio has given me confidence to homeschool. The kids really enjoy the lessons.

Our family was looking for some informative but fun coursework for social studies and science. The Schoolio packets were interesting and had fun activities that coordinated well with the information.

you can learn about so many things, I could learn about WW2 because i felt like it, and theres a video for you to watch, and if you dont like watching the video you can just read the lesson. its the best digital school I've done

I landed on their home page and what’s the first thing I read? “Truly secular, inclusive and diversity driven.” This ‘woke’ nonsense is the very reason why public schooling test scores are nose diving year over year, and why I’ve pulled my kids out of school. MORE emphasis must be placed on the fundamentals like math, English and science.. and less on pushing ideologies and theories. If this is the first thing schoolio wants you to associate with them, you best go elsewhere. Please check out Khan academy for a serious homeschooling experience. I have used them for a year and am very pleased as my children are now ahead of their grade level in math.

I found Schoolio during the early days of homeschooling. It was truly a lifesaver! Easy to follow lessons. I highly recommend Schoolio as a base homeschool curriculum!

My kids enjoy the concept of the online classes, the forum is easy to learn and allows for a relatively easy interaction between the kids. The chance for interaction with other kids is also a great opportunity during these unpredictable winters.
I do wish there was a better structure/expectations on the group.
My kids were disappointed when the central activity was completed after 15 minutes and the leaders suggested ended the group as that was the only plan. A set start and finish time with more flexibility of activities would probably fit us better.

Very informative

We love schoolio! We homeschool and it has been a really great option for us. My son really likes it.
