My 1st post here, we are wishing to have our 2 children who are currently sophomores in high school to begin home schooling this year, we had them enrolled in connections academy, however due to a future move to SC this year it will create a substantial difficulty in SC enrollment. I am trying to finding recommendations for high school curriculum thought offer online assistance and cane easily move from state to state. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tom
Depending on how much money you're willing to spend, Monarch (by Alpha Omega Publishing) might be an option. The courses aren't "cheap," but moving wont affect the ability to do the classes. And welcome to The Spot!
Connections is offered here in SC. Even if you decide to not go with a virtual school, SC is very homeschool friendly.
The problem we are running into with SC is they have a lockout period with registration so if we move doing that time our kids are stuck as well as offering no computers for the program , so we have to purchase new for each one, a bit of an expense that I didn't count on.
So you are wanting to register with public school system and do classes at home? Cyber public school? You would have more flexibility to just be full fledged home schoolers.
I second check out Monarch, it costs a bit but AOP has been offereing occasional free classes to see some things as well. ANother option is the SOS, since you have Sophs like me I can say this works for all but math. if they are do it yourself students? Math U see is what we use for math, ds is doing Algebra 2 this year and the first 6 lessons (6 weeks of school) are to be pretty much review. I am glad becuase mr d explains it all and we do the lesson work on our own and I grade. ( he does the lesson, I watch video with him) We are using a variety of schooling this year. but the private school my ds does PE with uses SOS for almost all subjects, they do math too we just do not think you should type in all the math you need to write it out to get it to really sink in.
I agree as a legal homeschool you'll have more flexibility with the impending move. Take a look at http://www.abekaacademy.org/ Or you could try a free curriculum such as http://www.amblesideonline.org/ which uses living (aka real) books (instead of textbooks) most of which are free at your library or online at places like Archive.org
