Testimonials

Christian Worldview GCSEs
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
So excited to see that there are finally GCSE courses from a Christian perspective available online. When I started home educating my son, there was almost nothing available to help us through GCSEs, and certainly not from a Christian perspective.
Thank you for all your hard work for Christian home educators.

Great Community. Great Learning.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I wanted to thank all of [our daughter’s] teachers for being so wonderful, hard-working, compassionate, and understanding.
I am so grateful for Arise, as it was a safe haven for her to still attend class even when she was too unsure and scared to go to her school in person. You gave her a great community and also wonderful learning, so she did not fall behind with her classes.

Logic & Debate Class
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Honestly, the Logic and Debate class has changed my son! All for the better. He can now have meaningful discussions on topics (even controversial ones) without feeling attacked by a different opinion. He can organise his thoughts better and express himself in a way that makes better sense than before the class.
Thank you for your dedication and passion for teaching our future leaders. Here’s to more awesome dinner conversations!

Biblical Studies
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I would like to heartily recommend the course on Biblical Studies from Arise Home Education. I have been deeply impressed with the content of the course. Ashley has clearly been thoughtful and prayerful in planning what to cover. As a Christian of 30 years I learn really valuable insights when I listen into the lesson. The quality of questioning is really stretching my son in his thinking, and the opportunity to voice his understanding and be listened to well is so important for teenagers. I truly believe that studying this course will benefit so many teenagers in their faith, in their ability to think logically, and their confidence to study further.

Apologetics Year 1
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The ‘Apologetics, Logic and Debate’ course has been of great use to my son already. He is teaching people who he meets about various scientific principles that prove that God created the world, and he is spotting flaws in logic all over the place in the media. The variety of topics covered so far in the debating part of the course has been really far reaching, and I would recommend this course to any student who wants to engage intellectually with how to defend their faith.

British Literature
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“My 14-yr old daughter participated in the British Literature class in Spring 2024 and she loved this class. She loved delving deeper into one of her favorite books, Pride and Prejudice. She found it challenging and very inspiring. She did this class in conjunction with the British Contextual History, and learned so much about this era, which also gave wonderful context for a deeper understanding of Pride and Prejudice and Jane Austen’s other works. So enjoyed working with Arise and their instructors!
Thank you for your dedication and passion for teaching our future leaders. Here’s to more awesome dinner conversations!

Multiple Classes
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I just wanted to give you a testimony for Arise from a parent’s perspective – We have used many online course providers, some of them much more expensive than Arise. Never before have our kids had the amount of personal attention and support.
If our kids or struggling or getting behind we hear about it right away and are able to course correct.
With math the teacher messages if she notices one of my kids was struggling with a particular topic and has offered to do a one on one zoom to help them build their confidence. This has never happened with another course provider, usually we don’t hear from them from one end of the year to the other except to ask for payments, and there is not this kind of individual care.

Latin Course
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I highly recommend the Arise Latin course—it’s been a fantastic experience for my 11-year-old daughter. She has loved every session, looks forward to it each week, and has learned and retained an impressive amount. The course has helped her make connections with other languages, deepening her overall understanding. Most importantly, it’s given her a newfound love of Latin and a real enthusiasm to continue studying it further.

“[Our daughter] really enjoyed it and she found your teaching was very clear and helpful!” ~ UK Home Ed. Parent
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
“Our daughter has really enjoyed the Arts and Literature courses so far. She finds them both interesting and challenging, which we, as parents, see as the ideal zone for growth. The structure and accountability have been really helpful, and we’ve noticed her growing in her ability to write clearly, organise her thoughts, and work more independently. We also love the Christian worldview woven into the courses—it creates a safe, supportive environment for her to learn and grow.” ~USA Homeschool Mom
Apologetics Year 2
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This class has been so great for my son! He has learned to think well and speak clearly about difficult subjects. Such an awesome class for teens to learn to discuss all kinds of topics well and have fun learning together. ~ UK Home Ed Mum
Combined Science
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My son took the Combined Science class. It was his favourite subject this year. He’s dyslexic, and I was concerned about how well he’d track, but he understood the concepts. And was fully engaged with the classes. ~ UK Home Ed Parent
World Geography
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you want your kids to have a much better comprehensive knowledge and grasp of world geography than almost everyone, and have some fun doing it, then this is the curriculum for you. ~TJS UK Homeschool Dad
World Geography
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘This has been THE MOST fascinating class. Y’all need to sign your kids up. The project our son just turned in brought tears to my eyes. Shannan Swindler is so thoughtful in delivering a love of geography to her students. Thank you for creating a space where learning and creativity meet and produce great family dinner talks.’ ~CF, USA Homeschool Mom
British History -Georgian Era
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My daughter participated in this class for the Spring 2024 semester, and did it in conjunction with the British Literature class. She enjoyed this class, as well as found it challenging. I really appreciated this class being a great introduction to a college-style class structure, which gave her practice in managing a week’s worth of work and a cumulative final project. We were able to create a costume dinner party for friends and family that incorporated so many elements from the class, as well as social and etiquette skills. I so appreciated having this class as a jumping-off point for an immersive Georgian era semester.

World Geography Self-Paced
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘Since we started the Africa geography study from Captivating Compass with my two boys, geography went from being our least favorite topic to being one of our favorites! Their previous geography book was quite boring, so we didn’t hesitate to change the curriculum in the middle of the year, and we are not disappointed!’ ~RA, European Home Educating Mom
UK Home Ed Success with US Qualifications
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘Ever since we started home educating, I never felt that I wanted to go the normal exam route, but I didn’t know whether there were any alternatives out there. Somebody told me about the US transcript model, but the idea seemed overwhelming to a Brit who had never heard of it before!
I came across Shannan’s self-paced course and found that the pieces all fell into place. I don’t have to stop using the high-quality curricula we have been using in order to shoehorn my children through UK exams. With a little bit of thought and direction, I can grade the work they are already doing and put together a transcript that reflects all their effort and ability.
Shannan’s course is clear, easy to understand, and empowering. I would really recommend it for any mother who wants to get to grips with a different route to university and a different way of preparing children for adult life. ~Happy UK Home Ed Mum
