Has anyone used any books from the teaching company? I am considering their chemistry course, but know nothing about them. Can someone help?

Are you sure it's the Teaching Company? Here's a link. If this is what you are referring to, you may want to reconsider. The Teaching Company is about enrichment courses. It is different than taking a chemistry course that covers the basics/fundamentals of a subject. Their courses are to be used in addition, not as a stand alone.

I have used Teaching Textbook, imo, some of their products can be used as a course; such as, Impressionism (art). My dd did a 1/2 year credit on that. We did add a library video or two and used a book on impressionsim for added examples. From their pamphlet that was provided I created nice worksheets/quizzes; ofcourse I went online to add images that completed it, but it worked for dd.
I tried to check out the Chemistry one from our library and was unable to; it was lost by previous borrower, so I am unable to comment on that particular one. I own their Anatomy, Joy of Science, and Astromy sets, but haven't used them as a course. I was thinking of using the Anatomy one as a spine or supplement.
Dd is using a Holt Chemistry text, Visualizing matter; Abeka's Chemistry dvd (LOVE abeka lab videos!) and a favorite supplement is Swertka's Guide to the Elements.

The Teaching Company's high school chemistry course does an excellent job of laying the foundation for the math side of chemistry. It would be a good supplement to any textbook course. But it is far, far away from being suitable as a stand-alone high school course—you would have too many gaps.

if it is the one Cynthia linked to I can tell you that the workbook I got with
High School Level—World History: The Fertile Crescent to The American Revolution<--link
has one page of questions- for each lecture. 10 discussion questions and 2 essay questions. We will use this as a spring board for further study in real books and online. Do one lecture a week(30 lectures= just 2 short of a school year if I am not much mistaken)
The highschool Algebra 1 has 2 to 3 pages of problems to work with each lecture. it looks like it would be a super companion to say the "keys to algebra" booklets.
