Welcome to My Audio School!

My Audio School exists to provide children with excellent audio content on a variety of school subjects in a format that they can easily use all by themselves.

Each book on My Audio School is broken down, chapter by chapter, so that children can listen to their daily assignments in manageable chunks. Links are provided for those who prefer to read the book online, or for parents who want to burn a book to CD or download it to Mp3.

Classic books, old-time radio theater, historical radio and television broadcasts and more make My Audio School a treasure trove for educators, parents and students alike.

What you see here is only about 25% of the content that is available on My Audio School. For a very low annual fee of just $14.99 for an individual/family subscription, you can unlock immediate access to 100% of My Audio School. We also offer a discounted group rate for schools.

In order for My Audio School to work best, you’ll need to use Firefox or Internet Explorer. We think Firefox works best for this site. Downloading Quicktime and Adobe Flash will enable the links and players to work. For links to these programs, please see our Technical Support page.
