Hi Jen, I live in an isolated community with school of the air kids with ages ranging from 4 to 14 and they all seem to be doing really well in their education. From what I have been told I think that the key to being successful is having a dedicated "schoolroom" and as much involvement with other kids as possible. We will be home schooling Olivia for as long as we are living out here and I am looking forward to the challenge. Good luck with making the decision
