Our kids 2/4 grade are in Connections Academy, but there are things I don't like about it. I stumbled upon Acellus, but it's extremely expensive, so I applied for a scholarship for them, and they were accepted. Anyone have any experience with this program? It looks good.

Yes, Acellus Academy.

Thanks for the input. Leaning towards it.

We used it before they greatly increased prices (and then dropped them again). It was good for what it was, but ultimately my oldest isn't really a great fit for daily classwork like that. She tended to do a week of solid work and knock out half a semester's worth of lessons, then drift off to other interests - for that way of doing things, Kahn Academy is more than sufficient.

Another reason we quit was that there was a rumor at one point that Acellus had reported some students to the state who hadn't made significant progress in their classes. I never followed up to see if it was really something that happened, but it was the just one more thing for us that pushed us away from it.

It's a time consuming supplemental program.

Consider it basically dry and somewhat boring videos on topics, reading and checking for comprehension, and simple games

To make it work, I'd dedicate about 45-120 mins a day. Not the most efficient method, but covers a lot of ground most curriculums wont

My wife and kids tell me their videos have gotten much better over the past few months.
