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.
