See my matchParents like that Miacademy's social studies videos are short, colorful, and easy for kids to work through independently, covering U.S. history, world history, and geography by grade band. Cathy Duffy's review flags that the social studies courses aren't yet complete enough to stand alone as a full two-semester course at every level, and that a few lessons on topics like Native American history lean toward a modern, progressive interpretation. Most reviewers suggest treating it as a supplement rather than a full history curriculum.
These come straight from the scoring rules the quiz uses.
