The Time4Learning Benefits You Might Have Missed

You may know that Time4Learning is an online curriculum that’s fun and easy to use for preschool through high school. You may know that the multimedia lessons keep kids and teens engaged as they learn. You may even know that it’s great for homeschool, afterschool, and summer use. Yet, behind the comprehensive, standards-based program used by tens of thousands of families, lie a host of benefits of homeschooling with Time4Learning that aren’t as well-known.

Let’s look at the multiple benefits you receive as a Time4Learning subscriber that you definitely should be aware of, if you aren’t already.

Colleges and universities are usually very open to custom transcripts from homeschoolers.
8. Six-week learning guides — Whether you want to use summer as a time for review or preparation for the year ahead, or you just want to review important grade-level topics in a shorter amount of time, our six-week plans for K-8th grade language arts and math will give your student that step up that they need. These are available in the Lesson Plans area of the parent account.
9. Foreign Language Learning — Time4Languages courses allow students to learn another language without memorization or even translation. There are 10 languages to choose from and students learn in an easy-to-follow, self-paced method. In fact, the program teaches a new language in a way similar to how they learned their first language. Parents can log in to their parent account to easily add an online foreign language course.
10. Refer-A-Friend program — Earn $25 or a free month’s subscription for every friend or family member who becomes a Time4Learning user and gives your name and email as a referral. We even have a customized invitation page you can use.
