My 12 year old took the Marine Zoology class series this past year. He really loved the class. The lessons seemed to... be a good mix of videos and Mary talking about the animals. Then each week there is a project. My son hates to write so he loved that he had options to choose from for the projects. He almost always chose to make a model, poster or video. We generally did the lesson and quiz one day and the project the next day. He learned a lot and would often interrupt my lessons with his younger siblings to show us a cool videos.read more

Of those, we have done the Cyber Safety, Plagiarism, Note Taking and Scientific Method.read more

We took wow chemistry and earth science with Ms Mary. The Wow chemistry class was AWESOME. Kiddo is 10 and the class... was exciting and engaging. She struggled with earth science because it was more challenging and not her favorite subject but did recognize that was more on her than the teacher. With Ms Lara she also took HP etymology, which she really enjoyed. Finance class was marketed to ages 10+ but I think 10 is quite young. She didn't understand or see how most of that is applicable at her age. We quit that one half way through. I think it would be better as a high school student. And lastly Ms Lara taught Westing Game which was okay. I prefer a different online curriculum for book studies so we will go that route next time. We also took Dylan's 7 wonders of the ancient world class. That was pretty dry in terms of lecture content but kiddo loved the projects. The projects are mostly graded on a complete/not complete level. Kiddo liked how easy it was to get an A. 😏read more

This year my daughter took General Biology 1 through 4 with Mary at Next Level Homeschool. In every section, the course... content was in-depth while still covering more material than our local public school's classes touch upon. Mary's approach to teaching is fun and engaging and my daughter and I had so many laughs during the lessons. We both learned a wealth of information. The labs are handled perfectly and are very valuable. My daughter and I both appreciated the variety of assignments and the option to choose a project that best fit her interests and personality. My kids have taken many classes through Next Level Homeschool and we will continue to do so in the future!read more

My 10th-grader took Mary’s Biology this year, and we couldn’t be happier! The lectures are comprehensive, engaging, and... easy to navigate. You can choose to hear narration or not. If you pause a lecture partway through, your place will be saved when you are ready to resume. Worksheets can be printed to go along with the lectures and help reinforce learning through drawing, matching, answering questions, etc. Quizzes each week again reinforce what was learned in the lectures and are well-written and closely linked to the lecture material. There are plenty of labs which can be done at home with common materials (or easily-ordered supplies) or which can be watched, as Mary has provided videos of herself performing each lab. Finally, having a choice of weekly assignments is a wonderful way for a student to use their strengths to demonstrate understanding. Mary provides feedback on weekly assignments and is also readily reachable via email if your student has questions. Would highly recommend!read more

NLH is simply the best homeschool courses we've ever taken, and we've tried many! Students have the flexibility to... demonstrate understanding of the material in a variety of ways. My kids love to build Minecraft worlds and build powerpoint decks! We've taken courses with NLH for over 5 years now. Most recently, our teen boys took Mary's year long Marine Biology sequence of courses. We then capped it off with hands-on field research and activities with other Marine Zoology students at Mary's home in Panama. It was truly a lifechanging experience, and it was incredible to see our teens putting their knowledge to work while doing field research, such as population studies of crabs in mangrove forests! I can't recommend NLH highly enough!read more

Sent a sale link by a friend, I enrolled my 11-year-old (now 12-year-old) in what I thought was a four-week intro... biology course through Next Level Homeschool. "Worth a try," I thought. I could never have imagined the magical year of learning and development that that one decision set in motion. The first four-week unit on ecology and chemistry wove together strings of knowledge in ways we still talk about. When that ended, we readily signed up for the second session, carrying us to January. I followed the program's recommendation and ordered a higher quality microscope and as many of the lab materials as my budget would allow. And then, the micro-world literally opened up to my son. We together watched--no, experienced--the lessons, journeying with Mary through what has to be one of the most amazing stories in the world: the development of life on earth. We relished the path. I realized that the lessons are really well designed for many kinds of learners. The slides of the lesson always contain helpful, memorable visuals; the lecture itself is written out on the slide; and Mary reads the lecture. Therefore, if you're a visual or auditory learner, it works equally well. For kinesthetic learners, the course is packed with truly fabulous labs, and if you can't afford to special order a microscope, protozoa, a frog, a fetal pig, and more, Mary films herself performing the labs and really explaining them. We felt like we'd done the labs that we'd only watched. The presentation of the material is so well done. We together enjoyed every single embedded video, rolled our eyes laughingly at Mary's many puns, quizzed each other on the new vocabulary, considered which of the weekly assignments would fit into our schedule and would be most helpful to do, and really wished we'd been better at taking notes early on. At the end of the course, my child was genuinely bereft. He said, and I'm not joking, it had changed his life. From the session on the human body, he learned so much about nutrition that he's making smarter food choices. We're now together reading a book for fun on the immune system, because the last lecture was about the immune system, and it gave him the vocabulary and the interest to go deeper. The course made talking about sexuality so much easier. I really can't say enough about the course, and I recommend it to anyone who asks what has worked for my son and his science journey. We are so grateful to Mary Middlebrook and to Next Level Homeschool.read more

I’m very sorry that I can’t recommend these classes because there is such a need for lab-based science classes.

My husband, a scientist himself, was appalled at how the classes were taught and materials presented. He said it indicated a poor understanding of the subject matter on the part of the instructor. Additionally the automated grading system was abhorrent and often required correction, which was demoralizing to the students. I would highly discourage anyone from this program.read more

My son enrolled in three different Next Level Homeschool classes and thoroughly enjoyed each one. They kept him... interested and engaged all year long.The US History class was the favorite class of his whole freshman year. History is such an opinionated subject. It can be hard to learn it without emotions or biases interfering. We loved how instead of using a standard textbook, Next Level Homeschool’s history teacher collected facts that he researched himself and presented knowing that there is always two sides to a story. If a student didn’t agree with him, they could just voice and present their side. The subject manner was interesting and interactive since it was given by way of presentations with slides, links and videos. The US History class was refreshing and my son loved it! He took all four segments back-to-back to make it a year long class. He also took a year long Biology class which was broken into four segments. The class was very hard for him, but he understood it and enjoyed being challenged. One of his favorite things about Next Level Homeschool is that the students can complete their homework in any format that they prefer. Homework can be given via a presentation, a craft, a YouTube video or whatever they like. My son loved being able to pick whatever format he preferred to do his homework in. He mostly used Minecraft and had a blast doing it. Not many kids can say they had fun doing their homework, but these kids can! It’s a brilliant strategy!My son lastly took NLH’s Historical Writing and Research class. It wasn’t a year long class like the others but I knew my son would enjoy it. He can always use help with researching and writing so this class fit the bill. It was a wonderful class.We were throughly happy with all my son’s classes that he took at NLH and highly recommended their classes. We are definitely signing up for next year’s classes!read more

My daughter completed the Biology series at Level 2 (4 courses) covering General biology, cells, Animal Kingdom and Human Anatomy. Biology was her focus for the year, and she has embrased her inner BioNerd. She is now registered for Marine Biology for next year. She also took her second Art History class last summer and had so much fun completing her weekly projects. She also took the Grammar Review which helped immensely with her writing. We also took the Coronavirus class as a family where the first half was review because of all the fabulous science we have already learned! Yay!

My son has been homeschooling for 4 years now. We found Next Level Homeschool classes this year, and it has been a... huge shift in his interest in learning. The classes he's taken with them have been able to peak his interest and engage him in curiosity, taking the things he's learning, applying them in the class, and even reaching out for a bit more because of things he's learned through the class. Unlike other online classes we've taken, NLH has provided him some accountability to show what he's learned after each week of modules, getting to choose his project to do and submit. I've been really amazed at the interest and curiosity I see from him coming from the inspiration of these classes. He knows that the Marine Biology class is happening in the Fall and he asks daily if registration has opened yet, so he can be sure to get in! Thanks so much Mary and the team of teachers at Next Level Homeschool. You really have taken things to the Next Level.read more

We have used so many of the classes here (not sure I can list them all) - and will continue to do so! My daughter, who... loves Marine Biology, learned so much from the Marine series that she has decided to follow that career path. She started with Shark Month and has taken all Mary has to offer so far in that area. She took the high school biology this year and loved it as well, learning concepts that will serve her well in college. She also took Harry Potter Etymology, Art of Persuasive Writing and Stranger than Fiction this year, and has just started a dual-enrollment college English course...she has an "easy A" in the class right now because everything being "taught" in this college class, she learned in those classes. She and her and brother have taken the Genetics (Harry Potter style) still talk about things they learned over a year ago in that class (we are a science family...so the topics do come up often). My son got started with the Vikings class and that jump-started him to wanting to learn Norse (now, THAT has been an adventure!). He also enjoyed the Medieval Technology class as well as the Harry Potter Genetics and Stranger Than Fiction which worked really well alongside his Winter Promise ELA curriculum this year pertaining to Fiction Writing. We can't recommend these courses enough...the only downside is I worry if the word gets out, we will have to compete to get into the classes!read more

We love Next Level Homeschool!!!! We have had the pleasure of taking several in person classes, that are also... available online while we lived in Los Angeles. Mary is such a dynamic, wonderful, intentional, and creative teacher!! We adored in person classes with the ability to add on with the online portion. Now that we have moved away, we are taking online classes and loving those! But we really do miss Mary in person!!By the way, the reason this is all getting posted at once, is because I have recently gotten marginally sucked in by facebook! I have avoided it until now, but want everyone to know and understand the value of these amazing classes!!!The classes we have taken so far are (in no particular order):1. World History Midievil Times. This class was great. We still have many of the project my daughter made from this class around the house - like a homemade designed shield, and a Viking boat. My daughter loves history, and having a teacher who engages her well is fabulous.2. Marine Mammals Month. This was a great and fun summer class. It was the start of the desire for learning more in-depth about our oceans sea creatures. 3. Marine Biology 101. this class was a great introduction to what the rest of the year with Marine Biology would be like. The details and real world connections are fabulous.4. Marine Biology Invertebrates 1 AND 2. These classes were awesomtastic, according to my 11 year old. There was so much detail, advance terminology, and engaging material, she was very excited each week when the next class was uploaded!! She has been gawked at when we have been places and she has used her knowledge from these classes, showing education well beyond her years.5. Marine Biology Vertebrates. This class was equally amazing, and educational. We went to an aquarium, and the employees were started by how much she knew!! She was pointing out the different anatomy parts of various creatures while watching them, and stunned all the onlookers by her vocabulary and understanding. She also was so proud to rescue a horse shoe crab recently, that she felt would have trouble because it had overturned in the surf. Without this class, she never would have been brave enough to do that. Knowing all the parts and where to touch was beneficial to her and the animal!6. French History. This class was well loved too. Learning about all the different rulers throughout time in France was very informative, and even made the opening scene in the live action Beatuy and the Beast truly appreciated! We have an amazing scroll that we made for our project for this class. It is fun to look at.7. Fractions in Four. My daughter does not like math, and this was the first online math class we tried. It was well worth it!! She loved it and learned so much. The videos with all the manipulative and the fun lyrical educational tis have stuck and made fractions this year in homeschool a breeze!!8. Harry Potter Genetics. This was a clear favorite!!! The ingenuity of teaching genetics, often boring material, in such a child friendly universe is truly genius!! The class was just as wonderful as we have found the magical world of Harry Potter. The hands on projects were so much fun. 9. Earth Science. The projects in this class were amazing. we got to do this class in person, which made it even more fun to see all the creative projects being made. The volcano eruption was a favorite!!10. Malaysia Virtual Field Trip. Learning about a place as first hand as you can get without going there, was a special part of this class. Mary does so much filming on site and then building a whole class around that! We loved learning so much about elephants and rice. My daughter now insists on whole wheat rice, not white!! 11. Physics. We got to take this class in person and I assisted in the classroom. There were an amazing number of fun labs that were a lot of fun. Learning why and how things in work, on such a fundamental level was great for the students. 12. Chemistry. We also got to the this class in person with me being the assistant. The number of labs was amazing once again. I think we had at least one experiment each week. It was amazing to see students 9-13 be able to navigate the period table and place electrons in their orbiting shells!!We have been blessed to be able to take all these truly amazing classes and my daughter and I both whole heartedly recommend each and every one of these classes. I am teacher by profession, and have a Master's in Education from Massachusetts. I would not be taking nearly the number of classes if I did not believe they were of this significant educational quality and material that they are!! Go Mary and Next Level Homeschool!!! You certainly have made our educational journey as a homeschool family special!!!read more

My daughter did the Marine Zoology Series this year. She loved the classes so much and how Mary teaches that on a... couple of trips we took recently she felt that we should go to the Aquariums. One of the Aquariums was in Copenhagen Denmark and the other was the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. There were times at exhibits my daughter would explain what she knew to random people. So in other words the great passion that Mary has teaching is passed on to her students and it becomes a passion for them.read more

Our 11/12 year old took all 3 of the Level 1 Earth Science classes with Mary Middlebrook this year, and he definitely... stepped away with a better appreciation of what is happening around us. He has delved further into the weather, and is quick to point out the various clouds and what they mean in the possible forecast. And since we live close to Glacier National Park, which is a geologist's playground, he loves to point out different features he learned in the courses over the year. The classes are very well organized and planned, and he loves Mary's humor!read more

My 7yo and 9yo just completed the Marine Mammals course and loved it! (I learned alot too! 😊) Mary presents the... information in a way that is fun and interesting for kids including vidoes. The quizzes were helpful to know what we understood or needed to go back and review, and the assignments were fun. I liked that there were at least three choices for assignments each week as different kids prefer different ways of learning and communicating. I also appreciate that we had 6 weeks to complete weeks of work and the flexibility that this online course provided. We'll definitely be taking future online courses with Next Level Homeschool!read more

Update (again)- this is getting long over the years! (I can’t figure out how to do multiple separate reviews😃).My 12... yo has now also taken the Lord of the Flies, Harry Potter Etymology, Ancient Civilization, Art History of Ancient Civilization and the History of World Food. So now we have used 3 different teachers at Next Level Honeschool and have been pleased with the quality of all three. The format remains consistent across all classes as does the learning platform (Canvas). The classes continue to be informative and challenging and my son is learning a lot and enjoying them. Next Level Homeschool has been part of our homeschool “toolbox” for 4 years and I am happy that we found them! Five Stars!My 10 and 13 year olds took Marine Biology 101, really enjoyed it and want to do more. The classes were in depth, the portal was efficient and intuitive, the classes could be watched on our schedule and the assignments were the right level. This was our first online homeschool class. The teacher does an excellent job presenting the material, setting expectations, and commenting on the student’s assignments without being rigid in how the students decide to present their knowledge at the end of each unit. So nice that they can respond to the assignments in a format of their own choosing. Looking forward to more classes with Next Level!Update: my kids have now also taken the Marine Invertebrate Class and we are just as satisfied. Bonus- it included dissections. Five stars!Update: My children, now 11 and 14, have taken Marine Bio 101, Invertebrates Part II and Vertebrates. They both really enjoyed the classes and look forward to more.Here is what I love about these classes :The format and flexibility. Each class is about a one to 1 1/2 hour webinar taken weekly on your schedule. It contains the teachers’ very engaging presentation with embedded video clips and is followed by an online quiz. The students get a choice of weekly assignments based on their school level. They have 2 weeks to turn in the assignments. We travel a lot so this flextime schedule is perfect for us.The teacher is very flexible with the students approach to addressing their assignments as long as they convey the research and information- they can write a paper, they can make a video, they can incorporate art. My two children have very different learning styles and it is fascinating to see how they both approach their assignments in such different ways with successful results that the teacher appreciates - no boxing in on a predetermined format.Dissections are included in some classes and are done at home instructed via the web. They are optional.There is an online chat group of other students to connect with.The teacher is very accessible and highly qualified ( a marine biologist).The courses,although they can be taken by semester, run for a year as an entire program and can be used as building blocks on one another.Grades are optional- she always provides useful comments.The material is not dumbed down. The portal for all this is very user friendly and robust- it is Canvas.The teacher has a good sense of humor and also incorporates conservationism and stewardship into the program.I learnt a lot too and enjoyed watching the lectures with my kids although the course is structured in such a way they can work completely independently too. (No I didn’t do their homework😜)I very highly recommend Next Level Homeschool!read more

My daughter looks forward to her summer marine biology course. Both Sharks and Marine Mammals have been so much fun... for her, mainly because of the variety in the projects. She watches the lessons twice. The first time just to enjoy and absorb the information as if she was watching a tv show. The second time through she takes notes. The slides are so great, the key terms and information is really emphasized so she knows what to take notes on, and is prepared for her quizzes. Hopefully there will be something new for next summer!

She is a HUGE Harry Potter fan so she especially loved how her teacher added photos of the characters and some fun references to them.

My daughter completed Marine Biology 101 last year (her 6th grade) and LOVED it! We no longer homeschool, but she... requested to sign up for Harry Potter Genetics this Fall (her 8th grade and still in public school) because when the public school covered genetics this past year she thought the way they taught it was boring and she was certain there was more to it. She felt Mary Middlebrook's class covers things at a more in-depth level and you can choose how deep you want to dive, she found that much more satisfying. These classes are fantastic for ALL types of kids, but I would say they are exceptional for thirsty learners.read more

I was a bit worried as to whether he would manage the assignments as he has dyslexia and finds putting 'pen to paper' really hard and reading can be challenging at times. I have been completely surprised - he has really enjoyed the courses, the way the information is presented has been 100%accessible , it has motivated him to go and look up more information on the topics, the fact that you can choose the assignment also really helped. We are hoping to enrol on the earthquake class this summer and more marine classes in the fall. Definitely worth the money. Mary Middlebrook is also really approachable if any problems arise.read more

He has loved every class, and I have been thrilled with what he has learned. Ms. Middlebrook provides challenging information in an engaging and fun setting. Students are often allowed to pick the format for assignments they turn in which is perfect for my "I hate to write" son.

There are only good things to say about Mary Middlebrook and her classes at Next Level Homeschool! I have two boys (8... and 10) that have taken previous classes and are currently enrolled in spring classes. Our initial love of Ms. Middlebrook's classes stems from the content, which I have found to be packed with information that leaves my kids walking away looking for more. Ms. Middlebrook's information is not only in-depth, but she removes the teacher/student barrier by inviting her students into the experience and respectfully addressing them as scientists on their walk of discovery. The atmosphere created is one of excitement and unwavering encouragement and support, even when a student struggles. The project choices assigned are not only challenging, but they are relevant to the material and are open-ended, allowing for personal exploration and expression. I have seen so much growth in not only the scientific knowledge, but life skills as well. My son, who has struggled with executive functioning, has gained not only important life skills in organization, time management, computer skills and project content but also self-confidence from the support and enthusiasm Ms. Middlebrook shows. I wish every instructor we encountered offered such a supportive and solid program!!!read more

My daughter took the Harry Potter Genetics class last fall and the French History for the Winter Semester. She... absolutely loved both classes and still talks about the Happy Potter class! I really liked how the lessons were laid out. There was a variety of really neat assignments that let each student be as creative as they could. Thanks Mary😊read more

My daughter (15) loves these classes! She wants to be a marine biologist and these classes are fantastic for her. She... has taken Marine Bio 101 and the Invertebrates classes and is enrolled in the Vertebrates and French History for the Fall. She has really learned a lot and enjoyed the assignments and appreciated all of the feedback. The fact that there are slides, reading, videos, etc. keeps it very interesting and engaging.read more

My daughter took Harry Potter Genetics as her first Next Level Homeschool class this spring. She loved it! She... learned a lot about genetics, and enjoyed the opportunity to add her own creative flair to some of the assignments. After she took our state's standardized tests this spring she commented that the genetics questions were really easy after having taken Mary's class.read more

My 2 kids are finishing up Marine Bio Invertebrates and I just can't get over how MUCH they have learned in this class!... Mary's enthusiasm for the subject material cannot be matched, and that enthusiasm has led to my kids being interested in every lesson! Looking forward to Marine Bio Vertebrates in the fall!!read more

Mary's classes are PHENOMENAL! My 6th grader has taken the Harry Potter Genetics, Marine Bio 101, and is currently... taking Marine Zoology Invertebrates. She has learned so much and has developed such a passion for science! We plan to take every course Mary offers; she is seriously that amazing. I am so grateful we've found her at this point in our homeschool journey. Thank you, Mary!read more

The content is well planned and logical. She teaches to the level each child is capable of learning. And her students... love her for those high expectations (although there's some grumbling involved every other week or so �). We love the Conceptual Physics class and of course the Science of Harry Potter! This is our first year with Mary - in person classes in the Fall, and now flex-schedule online for Spring 2017 in French History and Marine Biology.Looking forward to another year of school with Ms Mary in 2017-2018 �read more
