My 15 year old daughter says that it is really advanced but that she likes it. We have always used another program so this is a bit different.

This is a really good curriculum. My daughter is in 11th grade and it is challenging for her yet she is basically doing it on her own with my oversight. Lot's of good classic stories with thought provoking questions. The only complaint I have is trying to locate all the books needed when you need them! You really have to plan ahead if you are going to use the public library. We ended up purchasing a lot of the books due to not being able to find them when needed. I plan on using this with my other kids when they reach High school.
