    I use EPGY with my kids, especially the math, but since it is web-based I feel that I need to be around to supervise. Is there a math program similar to EPGY (that progresses at a rate depending on student performance) that runs on a Windows PC without requiring an Internet connection?

    I don't know if this would fit what you are looking for (or be the right grade level), but I've heard good things about Descartes Cove which is from CTY. Here's some info on it: http://cty.jhu.edu/ctyonline/cove/index.html

    Thanks, I did order Descartes Cove, and my son liked it, but I would consider it a full-fledged math curriculum.

    Meant to say I would NOT consider Descartes Cove to be full-fledged math curriculum.

    I don't know their ages, but Rusty & Rosy is great for younger students. There is a separate hard drive and the kids are not on the Internet while learning.

    Have you tried NetNanny, which allows parents to restrict Internet access? This would allow the kids to study online with restricted access to other sites.

    NetNanny

    Good luck!
