Online schooling/tutoring at home

Hello all, I hope someone can help with this. My sister wants to use online learning for her 11-year-old daughter who should be in her 1st year of secondary school now. She's got a list of these online schooling/learning/tutoring below. I am just wondering if anyone knows which is best, used them before and if they are actually a good idea? Your opinion and suggesting would be highly appreciated. My sister wants to use the online school as a primary form of schooling/education at home for now with some little monitoring. Thank you

Oxford Homeschooling isn't online, I don't think. A couple of friends used it for Key Stage 3 some years ago and didn't use it again! From what they said, it really wasn't that good.

I don't know anything about the other 3, apart from what I've read on here.

I'm a home educator of 15 plus years.
On the main home ed groups I have hardly heard a positive word about Interhigh for years - either in terms of quality of teaching, or organisation and policies.
MOS more positive although negatives too. Particularly when they offered an IGCSE that wasn't available in UK and people didn't discover until a year and a bit in when they came to book the exam.
Oxford homecoming and Wolsey Hall are not live classes but courses which you work through, submit assignments and have access to tutor support is my understanding. Heard good and bad, more good than bad lately but seems to depend upon tutor.
Netschool - not mentioned is the one that sticks out as most mentions being positive.
No direct experience of any though. With all things in home ed though it's going to depend very much on what your sister wants from the provider and which suits the way your niece learns best. Options that get lots of critics still have fans, ones highly rated still have critics.
