Our program brings flexibility of location. Wherever you have internet access, you have school access. No boxes of books and workbooks to bring. You simply need an internet browser. Want to do homeschooling in the back yard, on a trip, at a hotel, at grandma's house, on the beach? The ideas are limitless.
Flexibility of Instructional Level: Does your child work above or below their grade level? Plato offers older children a pre-test before you begin the courses, enabling students to work on coursework right at their level.
Excellence: Be assured that all courses go along with the California State Standards. The program has been developed by some of the top education researchers in the field. Plato was among the first to develop this type of virtual schooling. With decades of experience, you are in good hands.
Our teachers have integrity and compassion. They have experience with the latest of virtual homeschooling practices.
