    Power Homeschool is the perfect solution for our school needs. The ****** videos are engaging and self-grading helps keep our student on track. Record keeping for daily, progress, grades, and attendance is seamless. PHS is also very affordable which is another big plus. This is our 3rd year with PHS and we couldnt be happier.

    My daughter absolutely loves Power Homeschool. She is able to work independently and loves listening to and learning from the instructors in the videos. I highly recommend this program to other homeschool families.

    My child has used the program for two years full-time and the next two years will be part-time for required courses (and other curriculum for her area of interest). The school has helped any time we needed assistance

    The company made a significant change to their service at the end of the ***** academic year. These changes were not communicated well. I have seen statements that the company first announced the coming change on a webpage in August 2022. The fact is that users, both parents and students, of the service rarely ever need to visit the website, and certainly not the page where the announcement was made. I myself first learned of the change in April 2023, just after implementation. The timing of the implementation of the change was an extremely bad time. The result of the combination of ineffective communication with radically poor timing was more than upset customers; impacted high school students effectively had their records wiped for the entire academic year just as many were completing their courses. While these changes had no impact on the aspect of the business that our family used, I was appalled at the public responses of the business to parents as a group as well as individual parents on social media. The company lost all credibility in my eyes.

    This company made changes to their terms and conditions without proper notification. The service parents were paying for was changed with notice AFTER the change was made and only via a ******** post. No formal notification of the changes was made via email, their website, app or by phone. When these changes were made, students lost tracked progress and parents were left without a service they had paid to use based on the original terms and conditions. The company went on a social media rant providing not 1 reason, not 2 reasons, but 3 different reasons why they made this change all while accusing parents of abusing their services. The company then chose to spend Easter weekend scrubbing and backdating information on their website to look like they notified parents in August of 2022 of this upcoming change. However, multiple customers have visual proof and documentation that the current info on their website was not added in the time frame they state it was added. Parents have had to go through their credit card companies for refunds due to change of terms and conditions without proper notification. Parents who have cancelled due to the poor business practices are now finding that the company is still trying to process payments on a closed account. There is no clear communication when parents ask questions and the company has tried to gaslight thousands of families through false info, backdated website info, and poor customer service.

    We used Power Homeschool for a couple of years and were so excited that we finally found something that worked for not only our 4 kids, but me as the parent/teacher. Then, abruptly, *************************** decided to cancel Tutor mode and delete all kids' work who had skipped any steps using that mode. Keeping in mind that his is what it is utilized for. It's for kids who need extra help and kids who need to skip lessons of things they already know. Not only did they do this without notice, but they are not even giving refunds for people who have spent thousands of dollars using their curriculum. I emailed them 3 times myself and even messaged them on ********* Then proceeded to tag them on their own post. Nothing was ever done. And on top of it all, they deleted my account (which means they received my messages) without permission, when I still had 2 weeks left on that billing cycle. I will never recommend this company to anyone. I'm appalled at the lack of communication and the lack of empathy for parents and students.

    Been with the company for a couple years. They changed the program, deleted my kid's progress for the ENTIRE school year. Only 1 month of work left and they delete it with no notice. Than they go back and try to cover themselves by trying to backdate. And than won't even process a 1 month refund for me??! I'm gonna have to miss a 1/2 day of work to go to my bank to file a charge back for last few months. So I figured hey ill just get 1 month from company and they said sure we can do that and I haven't seen a dime. Won't answer the phone no more and emails won't send. :/ **************** ever!! What kind of company deletes a years worth of work from kids?!!

    Thinking this would be something good for my homeschooling child priced at $25 per, which I paid up on for a year. After trying it for a couple of months I've noticed that the curriculum is a bore to my child. Canceling my student's account with hopes of getting my funds back was a lost cause. Avoid this service at all cost, they claim that payments made prior to cancelation are non refundable. Even if your child will no longer utilize the service. Paid $10 for an ID that I probably wouldn't have received.**ZERO STAR REVIEW DUE TO THE NON REFUNDABLE BS**

    Program is changed without prior notice, over a holiday weekend, and not by email or through any other proper means. Through a ******** post in a private group. Lots of students lost their progress. Parents and students were called cheaters. If you emailed looking for a refund they expelled your students. Its a curriculum, not a school! So basically I paid for a service that was taken away and my children were expelled because I asked for a refund because the company changed their terms without notification.

    Terrible experience The curriculum weve been using did a change with zero warning or heads up. So basically power homeschool you could do teaching mode which brings you through every ******* and you need a 70 to pass. Then they had tutor mode. Which was all of the same course work, lessons, videos, exams etc. with the difference being we could skip lessons, repeat as many times as we want and because we had control we could decide what we wanted for a passing grade. Friday 4/7/23 in a parent *************** the owner made an announcement that due to cheating he removed the tutor mode, and made it an entirely separate site. With the difference being theres no exams, practice or quizzes on the tutor mode site. Its just videos, each class there is $5. Because in tutor mode you can skip lessons, and in teaching mode you cannot when the company did this change it caused thousands of kids to have to restart their entire school year, and most were almost done. This creates big issue for parents who are in strict homeschooling states because it zeroed out kids work. On top of all of this back in February there were rumors going around that this was going to happen, and when parents asked the company they denied this change.Hundreds if not thousands of kids ha e lost all their work. Owner of this company is a fraud and a narcissist. Run and do not use.
