What parents say

Parents like Miacademy's engaging video lessons, the ability to set each subject to its own grade level, and responsive customer support, calling it an easy, low-prep option for K-8. The most common complaints are technical glitches and occasional site outages that disrupt lessons, plus science and social studies courses that Cathy Duffy's review calls incomplete and uneven, often finishing in well under a semester. A few reviewers also note basic math lessons that repeat overly simple concepts.
