Testimonials

Truly love the help that we have received from the folks at Basic Skills. We have used most of their services throughout our 12 year homeschooling journey. Our daughter does better with private testing. Jenny has been wonderful with her for testing. We did their Supplemental Friday class program in the beginning of our homeschool, and later their Diploma Program and some high school classes. Consulting comes natural for them, as they love the homeschooling community. Their services have been very worthwhile.

We have used Basic Skills for the last five years and have greatly appreciated all of the help they have provided for our family. Both of our children attended math, science and writing courses provided by Basic Skills and were able to interact with other children and free us from the stress of the higher level high school classes. The Diploma Program provided a guided plan so we knew our children were getting a well rounded education and would be prepared for college. Homeschooling can be challenging, and Basic Skills has provided us peace of mind while we guided our two children through the high school years.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Basic Skills! The Bumcrots are wonderful and Mrs. English is my daughter’s favorite teacher of all time! I love being able to count on Basic Skills for so many things. Excellent!

We have used the testing services for my 17 year old son every year since 1st grade. We have always done private testing with Jenny and she has always made my son feel comfortable and at ease. I highly recommend Basic Skills to anyone that is in need of testing their student. We also are on the Diploma plan for the 3rd year and it’s worth every penny for me to have Curt there to help with keeping him on track with credits and taking care of his transcript. He’s always there to answer questions about curriculum and any other questions I have for him.

Our experience at Basic Skills was very positive. My oldest participated in the Diploma Program and took a few high school classes (Physical Science, and Shakespeare). My youngest attended the supplemental homeschool program (5th-6th grade levels). Prior to that, both kids had taken the mandatory state tests for their grade level. Communication with teachers was productive. They listened to my concerns and (together) we would work on whatever accommodations were needed for my child with learning disabilities.

My experience at Basic Skills was the best thing I have done for both of my children. Both of my kids graduated with excellent GPA’s while participating in the Diploma Program at Basic Skills. The academic counseling and resources were invaluable to what has now become their future success. I feel so blessed to have been able to have my children be part of such a wonderful experience and they are both doing great things in their endeavors.
