http://www.greatbooksacademy.org/ Has anyone ever used them? The HS charter school we are going through will actually pay for the program! It looks like it is a very classical program. Here is a link to the first grade curriculum. What do you think? (I already have a curriculum I like, but of course I'm still searching because I won't hear from the school until April about next year. and I'm not commiting to anything just yet) http://www.greatbooksacademy.org/curriculum-2/first-grade/ The only thing I would change, I think, is the History. I already have SOTW 1. Or should I save that for year 2?
I just want to caution you on classical. Make sure your kids like listening to you read, esp when the books are not colorful picture books. My kids don't, I have tried and tried and tried. I have mostly tried to go with a Charlotte Mason method, which is very similar to classical, and my kids hate every second of it, they just don't hear the words I'm reading if they don't have pictures.
